lyrics

You're talking to me in the first place
Left a message in order to relay
Consequences were part of my last name

And you can't feel that

Each second you talk leaves
Just a little more room left to walk
From the door on the roof to the hall

Can you tell me why
I don't know how
You came to this conclusion
And I don't know how
You stay afloat in the present

It's just a game
To pick my resolution
So please teach me how
To claim my restitution

Hung a note with a tack
And then took a while to get myself back
When you dress like you know how to slack

But you can get up

I'm not out of control
I just can't remember which side I deplore
And that's easy to make about war

When you still think that
I don't know how
You came to this conclusion
And I don't know how
You stay afloat in the present

You know how to change
And you know I've seen you do it
It's still a game

But now I
Think I'll see if you wanna go
And try to figure this one out
I'm not alone anymore
Repurposed and searching for something to do here

Duck and try to roll
Escapists trained slinging another dumb song
Respect is a gamble though
And silence necessitated or I'm fucked
