lyrics

I am the writing on your wall

I am a checkmark

I am a bloodstain

I am a music and I am a curse

I am your pretty bird

I am hunting



way out, way out



there goes another one

along the path

short-sighted fellow

naked in the grass

here comes another time

gone til its end

oh, make to the gate

and back again

back again



you should sell it with a sharp shot of novocaine

the kids’ll tell it like they live long to know the pain

and chase the credits with a hey man I know that name

we could all be erased



well she’s an actor but she doesn’t like her face today

well he’s a captive but he likes the size of his cage

the bartender makes her tips off charades

but they will all be erased



sweet jesus and a bloody mary

I woke up in the obituary

a half a sentence with a picture of my face

but they will be erased



my heart is heavy as a hand grenade

my body’s been around like a cheap cliche

I promise my promises break

and you will be replaced



when I was younger I would worship what they praise

now that I’m older I’m the person that I faked

on the shoulders of my father on the shoulders of his

it’s kinda hard to hold the world when you’re just a little kid



well you know you gotta work cause you know you gotta live

cause you know you’re gonna die but you know you gotta give

your best today, just like everyday

wake up, pour a cup, shave a stranger's face



drinking blood at my dinner table

sitting across from a crooked angel

it’s kinda strange to confuse fear with faith

but I guess we make mistakes



once i knew a lady in a cardboard house

when I wouldn’t play cards she kicked me out

and the city was big and all the same

street signs like fingers pointing up at names



well from way way up we’re just a blip in space

a spec of dust on a razorblade

all our monuments and their graves

are soon to be erased



well heaven’s gate has got a doorman too

and guess what kid he’s better dressed than you

showing up late in your birthday suit

out of the blue, out of the blue



a god ignored is a demon born

both gods and demons take human form

so be careful which you adore

are we bored? are you bored?



a god ignored is a demon born

both gods and demons take human form

so be careful which you adore

are you bored? are you bored?



both gods and demons take human form

a god ignored is a demon born

so be careful which you adore

are you bored? are you bored?
