lyrics

crackpot sting the morés
run amuck and tear the flag
flee those antsy cornerstones
and wrench away the bag
pestilent repugnant crime
stretched well beyond my means
nonsense not as good enough
destruct the rarely seen
in spite of all we thought we knew we still aren't you

once I ask the question
new course has been set
for far away from here
but here's not so far yet
it's hard to look into those eyes and lie again
but you ask if I'm well
I can't keep saying I need more

in spite of all ways old and new we still aren't you

once I ask the question
new course has been set
for far away from here
storm's upon us yet
beggars beg the question
can't by craft be foiled
if solutions find these secrets damn them
I need more

dance all night then turn away
the hour's turned to glass and so did you
you bet your life it feels the same
the retrograde the snub the start the fool

I've seen so clearly
I've know
but I can't stand the flight back
it surrounds me with thoughts and fields unknown

let down so slow can't feel the knife go in
scar face cut cards let's bring it down again
error correction delaying flight again
culpable but cutting quick
the fully fit
the perfect fucking lie

isn't just thought of me exactly what it oughta be
past and gone beyond all chance
clever was a circumstance
caught again let's hide romance
paid for it
pound by fucking pound

crackpot sting the morés
run amuck and tear the flag
flee those antsy cornerstones
and wrench away the bag
pestilent repugnant crime
stretched well beyond my means
nonsense not as good enough
destruct the rarely seen
hey, you're not so pretty now
hey, you're not so pretty now
blame, costing ground
same as it sounds

it's alright if you've got the cleanest
we've got the best and we got the meanest
so try
seemed so
thin and pretty the rest are simian
taking space and using up oxygen
tattered boxes stitched up by surgeons
so desperate look at us now

I've seen so clearly
I've know
but I can't stand the flight back
it surrounds me with thoughts and fields unknown
