I'd rather not spend this life jumping
From a box to a box to a grave.
Should I let sleeping dogs lie to me
Just to be safe?
If I was was an animal I'd be the elephant in the room
When I grow up I'm gonna be an avalanche
And I'll grow up soon
I got a weapon
I got the keys to my heart and my house between my knuckles.
They say any old street can be my armageddon
(I got a weapon)
Now I'm mostly
Pipe lines and storage room
Cavities and pictures of the moon
And I was told I look just like the sea
With a whole ocean inside of me
We end large and we deflate
Of nightmares and masturbate
Can't get rid of the aftertaste
Of all dumb things lost in this place
I'm lying in bed making up metaphors for metaphors
We can get a family value pack of scar tissue
In a handy dispenser box
We learn that misery is a pyramid scheme
About love
Love is an ancient god and a fevered dream
Love, love
We try to trick Death by laughing in it's face
We couldn't find it's eyes so we got stuck on the way
We learned that dying is contagious and it ain't even free
That our fear grows the more our eyes can see
Oh there's no happily ever after it's mostly sales strategy
And there's no movin in forever and it will shoot you in the knee
Now I come with all the bells and whistles and shits and giggles
You want me to smile when I walk by
We're lyin'
We're lyin'
And we're lying in bed making up metaphors for metaphors
You can get a family value pack of scar tissue
In a handy dispenser box
We learn that misery is a pyramid scheme
About love
Love is an ancient god and a fevered dream
I'm lying in bed making up metaphors for metaphors
We can get a family value pack of scar tissue
In a handy dispenser box
We learn that misery is a pyramid scheme
About love
Love is an ancient god and a fevered dream
