Commandeered this silver tongue, and not done
Speaking sparks to light the fire that I'm on
Well wishes are just a waste of loose change
Still, I saw your pockets full just in case
So, it starts, and it ends
Where the lines of discord will stem
They are watered by all of my mistakes
They sprout and bloom
Through all these goddamn halls
And ivy around our grudges
Like they were castle walls

I'd keep my fucking lips just as tightened as my fists
I would keep my thoughts and eyelids just as clenched
Self-control seems so simple when it's written down
But the impulse, to destroy us is familiar and happening now

Conscience, just pull through
I need you to come to
I need this for us now
Back alleys the new seas
I'll part them without grief
The Moses of downtown
Drunken and footloose
The headline of bad news
I've always felt hell bound
Conscience, just pull through
I need you to come to
I need this for us now

I'm on the up and up
I think I'll keep it up
The truth is I am afraid
I've never seen less spine
In a six-foot vertebrae
Ruler of a kingless throne
Ruler of a kingless throne

Peel it off
Shed it off
All this skin and start anew
Peel it off
Shed it off
This thin skin you've accrued
I've conceived doubt and let it infect
The womb we've built around the lives for ourselves

I'd keep my fucking lips just as tightened as my fists
I would keep my thoughts and eyelids just as clenched
Oh, the control seems so simple written down
But the impulse to destroy us is familiar and happening now

Conscience, just pull through
I need you to come to
I need this for us now
Back alleys the new seas
I'll part them without grief
The Moses of downtown
I've built my wooden cross
Will you just help me up?
