lyrics

adjourn the all incumbent cries
i'm fixated on a certain dial
that represents and misinterprets
everything we see as perfect

while and while the crows stood still
like plastic bags covered in fur
and angel hairs thrown in the bunch
a battery between two magnets

time to pick your first new born son
I am a fool, as I wait for the tides to pick up
with my feet in the sand, I cry
even when the knife's in my palms
I am the one, getting slain on the kitchen table
are you happier yet?

running everlasting laps
sugar water running from the tap
I found happiness in greed
sheets and sheets of golden plaster
I'd touch the sun if I didn't know better

time to pick your new first born son
I am a fool, whose been waiting
for the tides to pick up
with my feet in the sand, I cry
even when the knife's in my palms
I am the one, getting slain on the kitchen table
are you happier yet?

sheets and sheets of golden plaster
I'd touch the sun if I didn't know better
if i didn't know better
