lyrics

It’s time again to hit the town, I’m buttoned up
I’m hanging out with cherry-picked perceptions of my friends
Who are we, what are we now
I can only seem to figure out a fraction through this foggy fish-eyed lens

And a voice within my head it seems
To chatter on, he never leaves
A mole upon a mountain, he’s a fault line all his own
A thoughtful man of many words
I took to calling him Magnus Bird
Through it all I’m never quite alone

You’ve got my back (steadfast)
Through the ages thick and thin
And though I spoke with you last night I find you on my mind again
I’m in your grasp (no slack)
At your side right to the end
So let’s take a breath and ponder death
And all the things that could break down
Until we reach that final round my friend

Are we proper is it safe, all stacked up and in its place
Every rule is golden, we can’t stand to drop the ball
Every standard on the books, I’m dangling by their every hook
Sink them ever deeper lest we fall

From the comfort of this bed, I’ve built up kingdoms in my head
I’m always seeing monsters ‘round the curve
You’re the granny apple of my eye
But you can’t eat what’s on your mind
Soak it in and savor what is served


You’ve got my back (steadfast)
Through the ages thick and thin
And though I spoke with you last night I find you on my mind again
I’m in your grasp (no slack)
At your side right to the end
So let’s take a breath and ponder death
And all the things that could break down
And strangers judging me downtown
And what horrid things’ll come out my mouth
And will I ever live that down
And could I ever crawl back out and show my face in broad daylight again
