|
you're telling the world, they're going deaf |
|
we all become reluctant participants |
|
with no word of consequence |
|
burning ears are everywhere |
|
the looking smell of flesh |
|
you're talking shit and cold-hearted abandonment |
|
but i can handle it |
|
oh feel that subsequence |
|
i hear you rattling them bones holding you tight |
|
you're not alone, go fucking figure |
|
over-complicated is teenage blight |
|
are you surprised they're giving you the finger? |
|
now just remember they've got all the right |
|
cut me up and cut me out |
|
come on return the favour and sing it loud |
|
oh louder now |
|
i never meant quite what i said |
|
get over it |
|
my clumsy words were retrofitted |
|
watch what you say 'til you're fucking dead |
|
and think of all the time we wasted |
|
i've never been much for the afterglow |
|
and think of all the time we wasted |
|
and every breath you took that left you choked and exasperated |
|
i'll fix my eyes down to the floor as your abilities are celebrated |
|
just string those words along and end up red-faced, devastated |
|
and if your mouth stays open i'll start pulling teeth |
|
until your words catch up with you, just wait and see |
|
wait for the things you do to follow you around |
|
wait for the things you say to bring in skies of rolling black clouds |
|
i've never been afraid |
