lyrics

I had somebody find you another name
Cause nobody could see through your alias
Though the prophets all talk of wealth and fame
I’ll stick to my health
Lost on the phone
Lost on the grate
Lost in the bureaucracy
Found in the state
Grapple with the tongue
And the tongue to the teeth
I swallow what I’m given
Cause it gives me relief

I’ll have somebody find you another face
Cause everybody underestimates the current one
I’ve been at sea for days and days
You’ve been on the beach
Track from the sky
Track from the ground
Whatever you track
Just don’t make a sound
Stagger through boxes till you know where to hide
Digging through the candy cause the prize is inside

Fiction is only as strong as the words
Got a nest on the barbed wire fence
To help scare the birds
I miss the way that you’d wave in the night
The ghosts of the fog and the dogs are on guard
To save the light

So I had somebody find you another place
Because the raids are getting far too close for me to ignore
I missed the boat again, now I’m swimming days
You run like the wind
Fragile to touch
Fragile to stare
The smoke raining
Makes fragile air
Opening the show to standing applause
Then it comes crashing down when you find out the flaws
