Lyrics
[Verse 1]
All the words in my mouth
That the scene deemed unworthy of letting out
Banded together
To form a make shift militia
And burrowed bloodily through my tongue and my teeth
And I stood proud in the gallery
With my open socket of a mouth for them to see
They all just laughed and said
[Verse 2]
That boy, he, that boy's got woe
Woe
He lives with woe
Woe
[Verse 3]
And this girl who I met
Whose pride makes her hard to forget
She took pity on me horizontally
But most likely because of my band
And that's all I can get when I'm lonely
And these visions of death seem to own me
In the quiet of the classrooms
All across the stacked United States of woe
[Verse 4]
Woe
We live with woe
[Verse 5]
She said
I can't get laid in this town
Without these pointy fucking shoes
My feet are so black and blue
And so are you
[Verse 6]
Please take me out of my body up through the palm trees
To smell California in sweet hypocrisy
Floating my senses surround my body
I wake my nose to smell that ocean burn
[Verse 7]
So now I'm forging ahead past all the plutocrats who sold me out
Go sob in your bed
If life is twice as pretty once you're dead
Then send me a card
I'm still the optimist though it is hard
When all you want to be is in a dream
[Verse 8]
A dream
