Cotton On

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
