lyrics

What were the odds
That everything we'd thought to plan
Would go down so wrong?
Dead on arrival
It's now clear enough to know
This is how it begins to end
Leave me the room
To set the table for two
If we pull through
To carry on
Carrying that same old
Oppressive minutiae
Then we'll run to the houses up on hillsides
And remain indoors of course
Then ride the landslide through the night of the long knives
Pushing each other overboard
Wade in the turbid mercury
Reinforce hyperbole
For authenticity but really
What you give and what you take and what you make of it will finally Break me
Fools gold
Was stealing the vote
Fools gold
Stole our hope
Now we'll run for our lives miles to the mines
On cobble stone roads
We'll keep on keeping on while the canaries die
Overdosed on life
Reinforce hyperbole
For authenticity but really
What we had and what you took and what you did with it will finally Break me in two
Fools gold
Stole my vote
But i won't play the spawn of a generation
When you blame me for what I am
While forgetting who you're not
When it goes up in smoke
I'll just take a toke and never let it out
Ride out the high for all time
Watch as the vapor greys the horizon
Leave me to choose
From the options of the guillotine or gallows
To distract me from
Writing our swan song
