lyrics

armed with opinions
an army that hates you
swarming and swimming
in slow motion stereo
poised to pounce at the first sign of fuck up
and you will
and they will

clutching the chamber
that bears the last bullet
flushed in the face
and stung in the stomach
pray to a source
that you cannot believe in
sway to a course
that you won't divorce

and how we ride through the wrecking course
and swallow everything
we place our bets on the rocking horse
as we refuse to sing
but we won't crash
because the moon won't let us down this time
i've got a fistful of pills
and a conscience that kills
