lyrics

You think you're an architect
of a palace made of tar
but it’s not as dark as that friend
it's more like glass and the pieces give you scars.

You think you’re just flesh and bone
but there's creatures in your head
they scuttle 'round eating you
not because of what you said
but because of what you meant

You're content to shuffle there
dancing in your bed
but the rot is getting out man
there's light still, let's go down
in the ground and see what's dead

Let's pave over the sea
let's plant gardens and dream that we're free
let's build love in a cage
don't let it out now, don't let it out.
