Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They don't know how old I am
They found armor in my belly
From the 16th century
Conquistador, I think
They don't know how old I am
They found armor in my belly
Passion out of machine revving tension
Lashing out at machine revving tension
Brushing by the machine revving tension
[Verse 2]
Morning broke out the backside of a truck-stop
The end of a line, a real rainbow-likening, luck stop
Where you could say I became chronologically fucked up
Put ten bucks in just to get the tank topped off
The I found a place, it's dark and it's rotted
It's a cool, sweet kinda place where the coppers won't spot it
And I destroyed the map, I even thought I forgot it
However, every day I'm dumping the body
It'd be better for us if you don't understand
It'd be better for me if you don't understand
[Verse 3]
Yeah
[Verse 4]
And I found a place, it's dark and it's rotted
It's a cool, sweet kinda place where the coppers won't spot it
And I destroyed the map that I carefully dotted
However, every day I'm dumping the body
It'd be better for us if you don't understand
It'd be better for us if you don't understand
It'd be better for me if you don't understand
[Verse 5]
Let me out
Let me out
Let me out
Let me out
Let me out
Let me out
Let me out
