lyrics

[VERSE 1]
Some people want the reason why
Some people trick themselves to care
Rifling through the cupboards and ascending every stair,
Then flee the forest screaming when they find the fucking bear.
Ask me why I don't return your texts
Ask me if I'm achin' for your lovin'
Maybe I would rather stick my head down in the sand
Than wanna stick my head inside the oven

[CHORUS]
Truth points the way, but I won't go
Truth set you free, but all that freedom's just a show
My demons weaponize the truth, 'n' that's the reason why
My better angels always lie

[VERSE 2]
My heart is not an open book
That I will sell you for a bargain
To bend and break the spine, to dog-ear all the pages,
Underline each second paragraph, and scribble in the margins.
I'll tumble any way the wind blows,
You're blowing so much air, we'll have to open all the windows,
Yes, you suck up so much oxygen, we all should prob'ly die
I wouldn't tell you with my final breath, and you know why

[CHORUS]

[VERSE 3]
There's always somethin' in my head
Threatenin' to botch the operation,
A little bit of truth, the rest imagination
Sets off caterwauls like radios all stuck between two stations.
Now face to face with my own dread,
My fists are puddy in my pockets
Like two pictures, one a hope, and one a nightmare, in a locket,
One thing stops the other short from pullin' my plug clean out the socket

[CHORUS]
