lyrics

Stealing nothing from something’s hands, I was blinding eyes bouncing off the sands
I was paid for

Look behind you and I’m not there. When you get to close you thin out the air
I was over my head

When you look at me as if you’ve never seen the wheels come off There’s cardboard filling spaces in the road
Turn the corner laughing as the sentiment explodes
Your gods have promised everything for you

I’m as sick of this as you are, it’s not simple scratches, not subtle scars, this is painful (they know we know)

Without meaning I burst through the clouds, I dried the soil out, I cracked the ground. Is this over?

Because you look at me as if you’ve never seen the wheels come off There’s cardboard filling spaces in the pavement, in the road
You turn the corner laughing as the sentiment explodes
Your gods are putting everything on you
