lyrics
I’ve got no walls just wrecking balls to make this building stand,
Structural analysis on how to fuck your plans.
There’s kids with hearts like throwing darts which pin right to the core,
Pumping honest blood and, man, all they want is more.
I think we got a few more in us if you follow me.
Well, I think we got a few more in us if you take the lead.
We’ll break it into pieces, count ‘em: 1 and 2 and 3.
Work with what we’re given from breeze to breath to breathe.
Where have all my fingers gone? Unaccounted for from tips to palm.
Cus’ it’s getting harder to hold on to the way you weave your whims.
Like a traffic light without it’s lens, no red, yellow, or green.
Just white light lies, impatient sighs that hold no authority.
But I think you got a few more in ya
I hope you have a few more in ya
You need to have a few more in ya if you’re ever gonna breathe.
I’ve got nothing to hide.
My heart is wide but your tongue is tied.
The day of the hanging will be a surprise
and if you are lucky you will see the tip of ice.
My god, I think about everything all the time.
Structural analysis on how to fuck your plans.
There’s kids with hearts like throwing darts which pin right to the core,
Pumping honest blood and, man, all they want is more.
I think we got a few more in us if you follow me.
Well, I think we got a few more in us if you take the lead.
We’ll break it into pieces, count ‘em: 1 and 2 and 3.
Work with what we’re given from breeze to breath to breathe.
Where have all my fingers gone? Unaccounted for from tips to palm.
Cus’ it’s getting harder to hold on to the way you weave your whims.
Like a traffic light without it’s lens, no red, yellow, or green.
Just white light lies, impatient sighs that hold no authority.
But I think you got a few more in ya
I hope you have a few more in ya
You need to have a few more in ya if you’re ever gonna breathe.
I’ve got nothing to hide.
My heart is wide but your tongue is tied.
The day of the hanging will be a surprise
and if you are lucky you will see the tip of ice.
My god, I think about everything all the time.
