1.
I travel down along the ground, black dirt in my eyes
I grovel down before the mouse, grey heart is beating wise
I crumble off your humble face, real feelings cannot hide
I never knew your rat-faced race, was a lie, til I tried
I fry a thousand eggshell wires
To relieve the unborn child
Of masses tired and uninspired
Like a Child who's runnin' wild
He got no mind he got no style
He got a frown he got a smile
CHORUS:
So don't be mad, cuz it ain't my fault
All I had, was a grain of salt
Don't be mad, cuz it ain't my fault this time, no no, not this time
2.
I told so many voices off, that never rang true
I did not see no characters, who remind me of you
On cotton napkins raven ink, has bleeded in ruin
With foul habits hidden deep, I'm leavin' a clue in, for you (here it is)
No triumph kills the will of death
We know we see but still we step
On danger dads and monster moms
Who whisper calm in the dawn
They know they don't belong
They know it won't be long
CHORUS
3.
You're predictable and then, you found a scene (obscene)
I should have figured out your friends, would send you to sea (eventually)
I barely know you anymore, your clover has grown, alone
You make it kinda hazy for, feelings I've shown, for you
