got these holes in our hearts
as naked as the sea
so we're breeding tiny puppets
that look like you and me
we're laying in the sand
trying so hard to breathe
flopping ancient fish
swallowed by the deep

a tiny little dinosaur was
growing in that tomb
now it's crawling outta there
maybe a little too soon
screaming obscenities still
echo through my brain
kinda glad that i won't ever
have to do the same

then my water broke, no joke
and i was torn away
away from her away from you
as she screamed into this day

just a notion of boredom
got some facial distortion
and this smothering crown

the feeling of forward
it's hard to ignore it
the feeling of time dragging us down

trying to feel so important
and it seems like you bought it
coz i'm getting hard to see

so concerned with the sacred
no wonder you fake it
that shit's so hard to believe

faceless in the courtyard
like devils on retreat
pregnant with ambition
their bodies ooze deceit
concrete eats their flesh
and sunlight burns their brains
decomposing midgets
cut off from the mains

yeah they're trying to break the strings
trying to break free
feel so goddamn lucky
that their eyes can finally see
but i can't help thinking maybe
they're twigs snapping off this tree
falling to the pavement
delicate and weak

you said its getting hard to cope
sometimes i feel the same
feeling like you've lost all hope
coz you've got no one to blame

just notions of boredom
got some facial distortion
and this smothering crown

the feeling of forward
it's hard to ignore it
the feeling of time dragging us down

trying to feel so important
and it seems like we bought it
coz i'm getting hard to see

so concerned with the sacred
no wonder we fake it
this shit's so hard to believe

keep the blood in my brain for old times' sake
make the moon my plate and never wake
tried to dust the scratches off of this day
they're still there when i turn and look again

the feeling of forward
it's hard to ignore it
the feeling of time dragging us down

so concerned with the sacred
no wonder we fake it
but it's almost over now
