Lyrics Snapshot:

Verse 1
In the quiet of my mind
There’s a truth I try to hide
But my words, they slip and slide
A parapraxis in the light

Chorus
Oh, a slip of the tongue,
Reveals where I’m from,
A thought left unsung,
A motive sprung

Verse 2
Every Freudian slip I make,
It’s like my mind’s on the break,
Unveiling what’s at stake,
With every parapraxis I take
