We've only scratched the surface
But this session's almost done
All voices calm inside your head
With the panicked set to run
We could wait for confrontation
Though the price is awfully steep
With the effort made to wash away
Every benefit you'd reap
Now the slate ain't coming clean
Oh the slate ain't coming clean
You can time me if you want to
As you beat these words to death
Like some hand grenades or horseshoes
Almost counts for efforts met
For a monkey made a drama
In your lies for sympathy
Some mistakes to break the comatose
From this tired monotony
Now the slate ain't coming clean
Oh the slate ain't coming clean
Well we all want to be redeemed
Beneath the sun with what we need
Can't make a scar and not have it bleed
It's all so good but we can't speak
Scream out loud in disbelief
And in our grief it never makes much sense
Now the slate ain't coming clean
Oh the slate ain't coming clean
Now the slate ain't coming clean, coming clean, coming clean
Now the slate ain't coming clean
