[Verse 1]
The disenG#mgagement of the bubble’s hypnotizing
Some say beF#low the doughy crust the beast is rising
We like to Etalk about the past
We like to C#mtalk about the past
[Verse 2]
We G#mtalk about the past like it’s the strangest dream
We reF#peat the thing we never dreamed we’d do
I underEstand that sometimes we all must dance with fuckery
But C#meverybody’s pissing in the well of our suffering
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I want to G#mbreathe in all the ashes of the books they tried to burn
I want to F#feel the pages in my skin and understand the words
ECastrate fiction, call it circumstance
They say her C#mwanderings are dangerous
All she wants to do is G#mdance E/G#

[Verse 3]
You’ll be G#mpummeled by the certainty of minions
It’s a F#puppet show, a theatre of opinions
A Echorus of flack
C#mFeeder of the pack
[Verse 4]
You can G#mhear the shaky timbre of the voices most alone
Yeah it’s F#easier to sing within the crowd
Those who preEtend to believe hardest might actually begin to
The C#mnature of the bliss the warmth of ignorance gives into
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I want to G#mbreathe in all the ashes of the books they tried to burn
I want to F#taste resilience on my tongue and love beyond concern
EMass-grave subtlety, leave it for the birds
They say the C#mworld it might be dangerous

But everybody’s pissing in the well of our suffering

[Pre-Chorus 1]
