Merit Songtext
von Empty Atlas

I see the value living on your own
No incentive to compromise
When I was young and yearning for a clone
With softer skin and eyes

And she would always say the perfect thing
Ignore all my misgivings
She′d play an instrument and learn to sing
Slightly worse than me

Take it for just what it is and what it's worth to you
Merit may be devastating for what you thought you knew
What you thought you knew


I see the worth inside suppressing doubt
Until the point that I believe
There′s someone sterilized and waiting about
To cling to my sleeve

And she would think that I deserve her praise
That we're both spotless
And she would deem it so for all her days
And we'd die out thoughtless

Take it for just what it is and what it′s worth to you
Merit may be devastating for what you thought you knew
What you thought you knew

Take it for just what it is and what it′s worth to you
Merit may be devastating for what you thought you knew

Take it for just what it is and what it's worth to you
Merit may be devastating for what you thought you knew
What you thought you knew
