Maintain that same sense of patience
and everything has changed since that day that we changed it
she changed and I changed yet still we say we stayed the same
and everything around us just on came and drowned us all arcane
I can say that it's a chain and you can break the links
but we both know that that's not the way the world drinks
the weight of the world weighs us down with the raising up
pick a number, lucky lotto, hoping that you win a buck
it's all so automatic, we stay living noble as a savage,
just stay looking for those cups in the kitchen cabinet
it's a tragic story, just waiting to be written
sitting knitting in the middle while everything's been hit and
I'm a mitten, pit and all
a pick of parliament pit at a parlor trick
I bought a whiff a smoke
never inhaled
never went home
ever the whale, ever alone
ever to sail, onto my mode
and even though you've tried
these are my eyes
the size is double and triple
we live a little
but double-dip in what it tickles
a nickel a pickle of
pennies
try to blend but we
barely have memories and enemies
our heads, our centerpiece
it's ending for free
but then it means
since the energy's potential
not yet achieved
like even you try to breathe
believe in these lies to feed
and healing through time is heathen
I am cheap
don't read my mind,
just read these eyes and you'll cheat
I'm leaking oil before you ever need to see it boil
off the edge, it's nonsense, to steal the coils
a concept of minds perpetual and foiled
I'm a line digressing from the soil
lest it's mine to toil
I'm invested and this time
I work until it's perfect
and then I break it down
to burn it
we keep the world turning
we keep the world turning
because we hurt it
we keep the world turning
because we heard it
