So you see yourself holding the knife
though it seems you`re more terrified than the faces you practice at night,
so you can watch your tongue sympathize
We all know it`s wrong, but pretend that it`s/we`re innocent
Get out of the way
You say that you can`t move
We`ll drag you away to rot in your test tube
Congratulate me just when you need to
So captivating that I rot in place
Innocence fools you
It cuts you into pieces
You try to find a way to live or way to die
The decadence coerces you in zines & books & movies
I know I`m right this time
Get out of the way
You say that you can`t move and threaten to stay
Well, chalk up a new bruise
Like a thief in the night
So planned and deliberate
No use for a knife, if you can`t hide it`right`
You fall out of photographs and skin up your knees
Pulled under the undertow I`m so sorry you`re sorry
We all know it`s wrong
(Here we go)
We`ll all get along
Get out of the way
It`s clear I can`t trust you
You gamble with fate
A downfall for refuge
You reciprocate while plotting your next move
It`s not fair to complain from miles away`
