lyrics

Repeat enough to try and exist
Toss the ball in and call it a pitch
Board meetings will often come with a twist

Now I'm not saying what comes to mind when you play it
What gives the feeling that you're earning
A disc won't save your fortune
Better compensate if you've got one
As for me I'll practice what I'm preaching
I'll blanket everything that's sea-shaped
Chime in when i forget my knee brace
Regulations only made for murder
The curtains swept prefer just one side
Sleeping eyes are hidden online
Another breath will make me lose awareness
At least that's what I'm thinking

We're separating now
Me and the blanks that have lingered for too long
I need to cough it out
The raincoat on my back just to get down
The ricocheting line
I'm lugging around on a plate - wait you'll see it
Keep riding solo and
You'll get it, you'll get it, you've got it, don't let it go

Spinning around to see which move will make
Me drop my guard - appreciate
Those shades left lying on my face
And you've never heard a thousand pieces of glass
Unless you save for the song with the long address
Public speech don't offend the crowd with stale lessons in crime and class
Illuminating one by one tells a shaker to run
My heart only stood a chance until your knife tried to pull out a gun
Question a laugh at a reference to death
Choking on a cherry stem to get me upset
Asked if you were busy now I'm writing down instructions for chess

We're separating now
Me and the blanks that have lingered for too long
I need to cough it out
The raincoat on my back just to get down
The ricocheting line
I'm lugging around on a plate - wait you'll see it
Keep riding solo and
You'll get me, you'll get me, you've got me, don't let me go
