That smoke reeks like old days Your glory days Do you remember? No I don't remember All I remember is the ocean When I knew how Flood craft Flood craft They all wail along (it's a ritual) Hail o siren song (where they come from it's a sin) They all wail along (it's a ritual) May they hang on every word

You're getting itchy 'cause your battery's dead Can't stand not to feed your head Ten-grand says the whole plan folds When the left hand learns what the right hand holds Your mouth is rattling a racket at me 'Bout how to battle back the pack mentality I'm out back I'll dig a grave and call it even We got a battle ax to bury So many wires running to so many walls it's a wonder you ain't caught fire The rest is necessary, you better bet Orchestrated quite a glorious death Highest-rated smallest violin yet It's getting messy, very messy at the cemetery

Broke my teeth trying to bite down On those words you left around Last time you came back Took all night but I made it til dawn But it ain't for me to watch the sunrise 'Cause it ain't my business what that sun do All I'm worried ' bout is you On a hotel phone, that laugh It's on its last Don't light that match It's all a gas Broke my teeth trying to check for gold On that thing you handed me to hold But it was fools gold, I already know Which one's the fool this time It ain't for me to change those rules The alchemists have been at it for a while Sorry, ooh I'm sorry too But what good does it do?

Kiss my halo when I say so it's time to blow this joint lets go We shrink we grow we think we know its time oh no no point don't go Shot okay but you missed your mark Burned down that amusement park Only took one tiny spark Burn your way out of the dark We shrink we grow We think we know It's time oh no No point don't go Shot okay but you missed your mark Burned down that amusement park Only took one tiny spark Burn your way out of the dark

So Loud 02:17
There's ballerinas in the common room now So watch your mouth, no curse, no vow There's ballerinas in the common room now Open a window, don't smoke so loud There's ballerinas in the common room now
