lyrics

last living key to the mailbox
running on empty, belly full of jaguars
unforeseen pieces of you, she harvests the marrow, straight off the bone

crack glow sticks like police batons & ask the sinraptors if they got very far
bonebeds collected in a small leather jacket
you had a name but the devil grabbed it
king of swords, wanted posters plastered on the chalkboard
how else do you think they keep the lights off?
three years from now you’re penniless & frail, you think my guilt can stand broken sandcastle pails?

how in the hell did you score the front page?
was it your parents contemplating suicide?
did you trade them in for one that smiles, and does exactly what you ask them to the first time?
reflections of journalists & muppets
my dad broke my board tryna pop-shove-it
if time won’t change you
someone’s gotta do it, yknow?

i guess it’s my turn now, put me in the urn now, come & see me smile now, it’s been quite a while now

are you serious, is this some kind of joke?
am i supposed to laugh?
i can’t find the funny the part
you can’t be serious, what if i have to choke you?
am i supposed to laugh?
i still can’t find the funny part
