lyrics

you say that we’re in trouble
well, yes, I think so too
and I’ve crawled in here
to warm my scales next to you
and I’ve found myself at a loss for words
and I’ve gotta stay alert
because surely the enemy is close behind
you’re the kind of creature
I would hunt all day
If I knew how to
and I could tell you lies that would make you swoon and swear it’s the truth
but I’ve found myself
becoming less and less of
a boy obsessed with being somebody else
so I chased all the poison out of
every leaf on
the tree in my yard
and his children sway and they laugh beneath
or smile at least while
I sit here — I sit in my window
reservations in the crosshairs
thin white blood cells
eating the decay they can find
they’re leaving you behind.
