lyrics
Officially I stumbled home
Fell into my bed
Still warmer than the dead
Truthfully I’ve held my own
Data in my hand,
Sift names as quick as sand
Combed the cages corners, find
They’re rarely ever there
When they are I’m unaware
Loose lips on red eyes
Swallowing the whole
I let my reasons erode
Then we will be wandering
And desperate to withhold
But I return my body to the fold
Found a face my mouth can’t shake
Let the words alone
Repeat what I’ve been shown
Meet me where the fence begins
Perfect scenery
For who you seem you’d be
Loose lips on red eyes
Swallowing the whole
I let my reasons erode
Then we will be wandering
And desperate to withhold
But I return my body to the fold
Another thousand faces
Too many to ignore
What was the virtue of one?
Fell into my bed
Still warmer than the dead
Truthfully I’ve held my own
Data in my hand,
Sift names as quick as sand
Combed the cages corners, find
They’re rarely ever there
When they are I’m unaware
Loose lips on red eyes
Swallowing the whole
I let my reasons erode
Then we will be wandering
And desperate to withhold
But I return my body to the fold
Found a face my mouth can’t shake
Let the words alone
Repeat what I’ve been shown
Meet me where the fence begins
Perfect scenery
For who you seem you’d be
Loose lips on red eyes
Swallowing the whole
I let my reasons erode
Then we will be wandering
And desperate to withhold
But I return my body to the fold
Another thousand faces
Too many to ignore
What was the virtue of one?
