lyrics

You fired from a grassy knoll
I’d never see this one coming
The smiles are taking their toll
Fascism just ain’t funny

In a past life
I really thought I was dead
Cut the brake lines
And roll me off the edge
Do not pull me out of this wreck
Just let the match burn

I’m on a rotor driving straight into a hornets’ nest
You said rhetorical, well you’re going to hate me at my best

I just want to throw it all away
And bury my empathy in the yard
God knows there will be hell to pay
But your Catholic guilt has got you this far

Oh you’re wasting your time
Chasing demons
That won’t relent
Now I’ll take back what’s mine
To circumvent
My looming dread

I saw you on the 7th floor
Shoot me when this gets funny
Shaken right to my core
“Hands up,” they could be loving

Wrap me up
Don’t resuscitate
cause what the fuck am I without the ever-living shame?
Do not exit this way
It’s just a trap door

I’m on a rotor driving straight into a hornets’ nest
You said rhetorical, well you’re going to hate me at my best

Oh you’re wasting your time
Chasing demons
That won’t relent
Now I’ll take back what’s mine
To circumvent
My looming dread

Skip down
From a burning house
You lit me up
And my brains fell out
Sleep now,
In world renown
It’s not enough
To fade it out
