Cotton on
You are beginning to
Or so it seems
Grasp at things
To the facts
To begin the long process of
Untrust
These allies and firm friends you speak of
Will sell you out faster than...
Can't you see?
Are you beginning to cotton on, as they say
Stick to knowledge an' truth
Like wet cotton
You're beginning to
The inevitable harshness
The light reveals
It hurts, it must
Being deceived by those pretenders
They ain't your friends
Cottoning on you are
Finally with finality
Attach to with understanding and grasp at
These dire events and what they signify
Raise your voice
And wield your weapon of choice
But break free and come away
Come back to us and finally
Cotton on
