lyrics

these bombs are dropping from too high.
even if we could, i know that we'd not use our eyes.
so swallow your keys - lock back of mind
so you can feel this way for the rest of your life.

and when i breathed too much smoke in
my lungs could not begin to begin
to believe what i just ran into -
something, with nothing i can do.

my sense of urgency cannot be denied
my sense of ignorance can light up the night skies
and you know that i am everything you need
and you are everything that you want me to believe.

i've seen things you'd not believe, boy.
i've seen things that would wake you from your sleep.
now this is not how you were explained, no.
no, this is not what they told you you'd see.

your sense of urgency is always denied
your sense of ignorance you'll never try to hide
and you know that you are everything they need.
and you are everything that you want me to believe.
