Lyrics
[Chorus]
We should explore past the sensory
Delicate, it needs secrecy
Fabric torn, my blood in its place
That's our form, that's how we take shape
[Verse 1]
My switch to silver came just in time
There can be no concepts while I'm dyin'
What did I write? Because it came true
Regret in tow, what would you have me do?
We fail precisely 'cause we aspire
If ease is here, we can do no wrong
We shouldn't try, lest our time be tired
To feel so much, I fear it's not enough
[Chorus]
So we should explore past the sensory
Naturally
Delicate, it needs secrecy
Fabric torn, my blood in its place
Tragedy
That's our form, that's how we take shape
[Verse 2]
Driving out 'til I see the sun, seen the E, never needed much
We had reason to leave at once but we didn't believe enough
Spill it all on the ground and then fall asleep at the wheel again
Guess I'm lucky I made it home, I don't know if I'd call it that
Make a window with all the time, lookin' through when it's hard to find
Something dying across the hills, had to happen, what's on your mind?
Man you know I don't make the calls, stop complaining and guard your face
Thought I said not to wake me up, need the chain just to weigh me down
When they shoot then you have to smile, so they know that it's all in fun
Look away just for long enough, move around and you sweat it out
Long enough and you might forget, that's the ritual that we love
Hide the grief in a cheerful song, not to sing but the kind you talk
Stick around and perform a while, have a drink while they pack me up
Just to open me up again, that's the ritual that they love
Use my soul and I keep it goin', so I'm down to the last of it
But the flavour don't have to change, hope it taste just that way you want
