Things We Tell Ourselves in the Dark

A fever dream reach across the streets

The streets of legacy

Encase a throat of gold

The things we tell ourselves in the dark

Never heard what was said

To weep alone in this racing madness

Bright-eyed with power

Prettiest at the ball, grandest dreams of all

Machine-like precision to rid me of concern

The empathetic creatures are hunted for reward

It's sorted

It's boring

Prosperity

Beggars worship in the street

Dropping flowers by my feet

As it is

What it was

To all the old egos we've sold

How does it grow?

Marigold

To all the old egos we've sold

How does it grow?

Marigold

Kiss the ring, miserable degrees

A figment of our nightmares

I'll have a little fun with a slightly loaded gun

Please, try and hear me out

Machine-like precision to rid me of concern

The empathetic creatures are hunted for reward

It's sorted

You're boring

Prosperity

Prosperity

Lift, place, proceed

I'm standing by your back door

Waiting to strike and capture

Machine-like precision

Lift, p-p-place, proceed

I'm standing by your back door

Waiting to strike and capture

The empathetic creatures

Machine-like precision

Blinded by my shining star

Lurching with my fat cigar

A showering of gold

Secretly smoldering

Can't find peace within

Secretly (secretly)

Smoldering (smoldering)

Can't find peace within (peace within)

Trapped in twisted spaces

Dissolve the crowd

Devour, la-dee-da

Trapped in twisted spaces

Dissolve the crowd

Devour, la-dee-da

Trapped in twisted spaces

Dissolve the crowd

Devour, la-dee-da

Trapped in twisted spaces

Dissolve the crowd

Devour, la-dee-da

As it is

What it was

Things we tell

Ourselves

In the dark (Things we tell)

In the dark (tell ourselves)

As it is

What it was

To all the old egos we've sold

How does it grow?
