lyrics

Pull me from my path
Bury the body out back
Leave the brain intact
no feelings, just fact
The one you love will not come back

Now everybody’s taking naps
on the railroad tracks
Just learning how to shed your mask
and once you’re gone you’ll be right back
‘til you discover what you lack

The birds picked me apart
(Passing through the horizon)
while holy hands made holy art
(The perimeter of silence)
Transferring your energy
a beautiful lobotomy
(I’m never going to get it right)
You shined with perfect symmetry
(I’m never going to see the light)

Sleeping in the heat I find a million ways to blame
anyone but me
But waking in a dream there’s never been
anyone but me
I see everything
feels like we’ve done this before
You’re not special anymore

Broken time machine,
why won’t you let me be?
How you always get the best of me
when I unpack all of my darker dreams
When everything I ever thought I’d be
is just mislead self-idolatry
I know we can’t visit the past
but god damn, these regrets won’t let me sleep

If the Lord doesn’t paint with straight lines, then why should we?
