lyrics

Cut off your foresight with a foreign blade. If I dreamt it up, then it MUST take place.
Prioritizing for a later date – Am I more sincere when I disappear?

Speak up so big to talk so small.
Try turning on only to crank another shaft blowing esteem.
Discard the hope you’d ever learn,
Buying the notion of a joy winning the favor
Of the masochistic, miserable elite.

Was I misleading to have been so bold?
No shame retreating from digging a deeper hole.
Open doors catching your heel every time,
Maybe not coincidentally.

Cease all production of the feigning art that would prop us up to be picked apart.
Show off your asshole burning like a star. What of private thought? Discount the loss.

Speak up so big to talk so small.
Try turning on only to crank another shaft blowing esteem.
Discard the hope you’d ever learn,
Buying the notion of a joy winning the favor
Of the masochistic, loneliest elite.

Was I misleading to have been so bold?
No shame retreating from digging a deeper hole.
Open doors catching your heel every time,
Maybe not coincidentally.
Rightfully so.
Ought I answer to the call I’ve purposefully avoided?

How temporarily useful mechanically.
All to our benefit swears up and down each new best friend.
How temporarily useful for profiting.
All to our detriment, I swear up and down, I’m not who I seem to be.

Open doors catching your heel every time,
Maybe not coincidentally.
Rightfully so.
Layers burying what soul might have been better spent looking out for my own neck.
