lyrics

Pleasure is yet the weakest of all tenses. Speak in defense of trust to be authentic. Even she wants to see evil upended. Effortless love that leaps from a heart rended. Emphatically radical; turn the outside world into static, but be warned that it forms into habit. You’ve got to have it like you think you need it, really fiending. Picking who you want to leave with and what that means in a minute from now, because, shit, you only live multiple times. So make it count through these temporal eyes. Recognize that it’s not the sight of her, but the light of her; imagine furious fires you'd like to ignite in her. Passion is never wise but it's more real. Pick the right cards but still get the raw deal. It’s all here: another reason for staying or just a reason for playing up the things you’ve been saying all in her ear like you have any control. Guess it is better not to know, to be copped and sold and re-sold as dog eared pages choke with mold, waiting to be broke down. Shouts out to Smoketown. Everybody’s broke now. Everybody’s soulless; feeling so alone with the world on their shoulders, but really all together with a wall between. So bore a hole in it and keep the method unseen. Self-sacrifice as if she had one. Who'd of thought after it all you'd be the glad one? Rise from the fog unscathed, at least mostly; and what ain't finish the job becomes a trophy. A couple scars on your ventricles, it's nonsensical at what expense she pulls everyone she touches down past zero. You can be a man but you can't be a hero. Never save shit. Value is subjective. Two hearts' weight makes the scale ineffective. Searching around like you were some detective, but clues elude and you're left no directive. Break connections that may cause spark. Use your discretion that feeds into dark. Hark! Clipping wings for hanging on walls. Start to relinquish, not wish, for resolve.
