lyrics

Are we irresponsible
With a heartache like a teenage wreck
We are the mistaken
Just your problem to correct
I meditate like a bomb
Static bleeding through the tape deck
I meditate like a bomb
Static bleeding through the tape deck

I don't care for your revelations
No one else will ever let me down
Can you show me more than devastation
I used to know you but you're a stranger now

And all of the sharpest knives stick into my spine
It might have been nice
It might have been nice if I didn't wake up when I died

I cannot see
I cannot perceive all the empty inside of me
There's nothing at all
Nothing at all
Nothing at all

I woke up a skeleton dead buried underground
Digging dirt just like a worm I crawled back to a dead earth
With nothin' there and no one else alive
No one can hurt me now or tell me any more lies

I don't care for your revelations
No one else will ever let me down
Can you show me more than devastation
I used to know you but you're a stranger now

And all of the sharpest knives stick into my spine
It might have been nice
It might have been nice if I didn't wake up when I died

I've been waiting sixteen months
Skeleton sockets ain't got no eyes to shut
Oh woah
No giving up
I'm gettin' pretty good at making mud
I've been waiting sixteen months
Skeleton sockets ain't got no eyes to shut
Oh woah
No giving up
I'm gettin' pretty good at making mud
I've been waiting sixteen months
Skeleton sockets ain't got no eyes to shut
Oh woah
No giving up
I'm gettin' pretty good at making mud
I've been waiting sixteen months
Skeleton sockets ain't got no eyes to shut
OH woah
No giving up
I'm gettin' pretty good at making mud
