lyrics

Haven't you noticed anything strange today?

You died in your sleep last night, dropped dead in your sleep that's right. no way! yes, babe. can't stay? no way.You should probably handle this in a better way. You're whining you're crying you're signing you're dying okay?
still born in a blizzard/baptized in the flood/follow in the cyclone/break off in the wake/travel with the thunder/eyes roll through the storm/dug under infernos/buried/burned/or lost.
Digging through a void with a vertigo that manifests you dancing with the devil or at least that's what your shadow casts. Laid back in a death stare with those 'fuck me' eyes... as if i care. embody your own catalyst in catawol paralysis. Feeling woozy? Haunting your own house? Decaying from...
We watch as you sleep at night, all safe in your candlelight. Reality’s feelings still misleading or you just a huge dip shit, okay.
Inhale the tornado/Spit out hurricanes/Cough up forest fires/Hang men on the waves/Live in your own garbage/Wash up in the spills/Buy your own pine trench coat /Buried, burned, or lost.

You can't drown a red herring in a still with the absinthe of god. Sip back and deploy. You've been assigned to us forever. You're safe with us now. Get dragged over the commonwealth. Life was such a drag anyway.
