You let me in two swinging French doors for me. A rare type of kindness, more like a virus, that is too small to see. I opened your mind, and your eyes, heart and throat just for jokes So close your mouth, baby, tongue and cheek This is the cure for the curse, You bestowed upon us the day you found earth A reminder we're mortals lying fucking dying at best My thirst was not quenched No, for centuries I've been searching for you My veins will not rest, no Until they would have you running through And now that you're here in my arms your will I ask of you, Wish to be turned, and in turn, you will lose your fear Well, this is the life You're offering One of painlessness, yeah, yet misery Fuck it, you know, you set me free I suspect we're busted, and fear that they've come wise to our ways They’ll chase us, and they'll catch us and they'll stake us and they'll hang us in town on display Let’s run while we can Oh, at dusk we will make our escape That’s if by then, baby it is not too… Baby, oh baby, this bedroom is on fire again And they’re waiting outside for our heads Now blessed with the choice to confess or burn to death

You say that you know why the lines in the skies are misting mass particles and drift like my eyes Never felt so alive in my life Distant visions of massive explosions in the sky (The sky) is falling down on us all And when it does, oh tell me, will you head for the hills or will you hide underground? The place where we’re all from, And destined to baby Yeah someday you and I, will melt with this earth and become one, (One) of these days, I’ll get this shit right, but it’s hard to be optimistic, with a tide on the rise (Rise) to your feet if you can muster the strength We’ve got so far to go I don’t think we’ll make it, Lord knows we gotta try To control your breathing To slow your heart rate Keep mind from tongue, lie from lung as you’re screaming inside To yourself trying to make sense of this life Well there’s got to be so much more to this than just coincidence or an eye for an eye (I)for one am so fucking tired of always getting the runaround and of being stepped upon (Upon) first sight I’d say that we were slighted But upon taring the scales, found we were right on man

Have you got some verbs? Because I’ve got some stashed Let’s combine efforts and go nowhere fast Oh the things we could do If I had the cash, or if I had the gas, just to get to your house before, “Oh, she just left” Oh the things we could do (The things we can do) Snorkel, avocado, ice pick Trust me; I’ve made more with much less Final notice, a bill for my health Can’t fuckin’ pay that shit, can’t even feed myself Oh the things we could do Oh the wonderful news Oh the things we could do If only it were true The lights went out again, the heat got shut off We’re three weeks late on rent, yeah and all being robbed By the guys in the suits, under guise of the truth, by the guys in the suits Snorkel, avocado, ice pick Trust me; I’ve made more with much less You say, “You’re the best fucking thing, that’s ever happened to me in my life” Well if it’s true, then why did you leave my side? You say that we want different things Well, you just want a different ring girl Well it’s fine and it’s swell, well, I’ll see you in…

Conspirator 04:24
To see you leave Yeah, that would be enough for me If I said that you shouldn’t well you probably would and if I told you you couldn’t could consider it done Well I guess that’s just single barrel double sided love To watch me bleed Or take the very last breath from me Well you took what you wanted while I wanted to run With this match that you started lit this fire for fun Well I guess that’s just double barrel single sided love I told you your excuses elicit no response Just breathe Take it all in as if this were the first time my fingers ran through your hair And your lips and your smile were on mine and your heart was on your sleeve You said, “Don’t be afraid; just keep your eyes on me”. Et tu, Brute? Conspirator what have you say Conspirator what have you…? Et tu, Brute? Conspirator what have you say? Conspirator what have you…? I told you your excuses elicit no response Well take what you need, And leave the rest back up on the highest shelf Well if you take it from me You’ll never love anyone if you don’t love yourself If I could take one thing from you and add it to myself It would be, without a doubt, your confidence If I could Just take one part of you and feed it to the wolves It would be, without a doubt, your convoluted sense of self worth
