lyrics

You told me that you’d go to Reno if only I’d take you right now
I told you I work in the morning but it’s fine if you stay at my house
I wonder if either one knew what the other was talking about

I’m in trouble but I’m still too strong for dying
I’m crazy but I know it when you’re lying
There’s no love worth understanding nor no dream that’s priced for buying
If you’re tempted that’s fine go turn out the lights but I know why you’re hiding

You told me that you had a vision but something distracted your plans
How can you know me when people just fear what they can’t understand
We sent a man to the moon and he landed on instagram

I took the long way to learn who I can’t confide in
I know you’re hurting but I don’t know why we’re fighting
There’s no love worth understanding nor no dream that’s priced for buying
If you’re tempted that’s fine go turn out the lights but I know why you’re hiding

I can no longer pay for this overgrown grave
Someone left to keep me company
There’s a curse on this house that I cannot keep out
when everyone I meet I keep alone

I’m tired of living my life the way that I did as a child
You can’t be tamed if you’re wild it doesn’t matter how hard they might try
And there’s nothing so helpless as the bride of a spiritual guide

I left that death house and met my friends out in the forest
We watched the snowfall and waited for the horses
Driven mad by skullfaced maskes we laughed and shouted “tourists!
If you’re tempted that’s fine go turn out the lights but I know why you’re hiding”
