lyrics

alone in a room with a vacuum
and a surge has just blown all the outlets out
oh what an ego you have my boy

bound as if glued to the handle
of an instrument not suited to my use
oh birds of burden listen to my voice

it’s familiar in a way that i choose not to understand
the taste on the tip of my tongue it
tastes like bitter
but it’s sweet like stolen candy

i’ll wait for you as for the moon in summer
the games of chess get shorter every time
oh i’ve yet to see one all the way thru

think of me as a balloon of feeling
deflate me and you’ll bring me back to earth
or risk me drifting into the blue

it brings me no joy to know that the daylight will hit me soon
the best part of night is the moon that’s the worst part of
summer too
it’s familiar in a way that i choose not to understand
the taste on the tip of my tongue it
tastes like bitter x3
but it’s sweet like stolen
