lyrics

A swollen heart
You pull the trigger back
And release, let’s see where the shells land
Bang bang
Holy shit
These fireworks ain’t the ones made for kids

If there is heat
The food will probably cook
Mysteries explained in a recipe
When he died
I felt sad
For all the great things I assumed he had

There’s always been enough
Miles and miles of doors all locked up
Keep finding the keys but they aren’t cut

Here they come
Always sniffing around
Here they come
Always sniffling around
Looking for clues
Anywhere on the ground
The high life let me down again last night

Here’s an idea
Why don’t we move away
Settle down in a house in another state
Dark green
Or navy blue
I need distractions like the ones we once knew

It’s late at night
The bars are closing up
You call a cab to bring you to your next spot
I should go home
Lay on the stoop
The next morning hang myself with a hula hoop

The job is shutting down
Take a right hook straight to you bank account
Stare at a screen and scream through your eyelids

Here they come
Always sniffing around
Here they come
Always sniffling around
Looking for clues
Anywhere on the ground
The high life let me down again last night

I had a dream
Before I woke up
I was in my old house
And then the lights went out
