lyrics

Blackberry canyons, rooftop sinkholes
Ventura highways, unpaved backroads
Tower of Babel, Rosetta stones
Band of disciples, feeling alone

Texas sunrise, sleeping in late
Going fishing, not taking the bait
Frantic repression, evident fate
Pipe dreams to clog up, and gold to create
Whoa

It keeps eating at me and I’m starting to fray
When you move, your colors start shifting
And you go on and change, but I just stay the same
And a hint of the veil is lifting
Telling me something’s wrong
Something’s wrong and that’s the truth
Don’t you dare look at me with pity when I stick around for you

Drunk ballerinas, wallflower sighs
Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde
Laugh like a monkey, puppy dog eyes
Suffocating summer air and clear, blue skies
Whoa


It keeps eating at me and I’m starting to fray
When you move, your colors start shifting
And you go on and change, but I just stay the same
And a hint of the veil is lifting
Telling me something’s wrong
Something’s wrong and that’s the truth
Don’t you dare look at me with pity when I stick around for you
Don’t you dare look at me with pity when I stick around for you

Rainbow scarves, ripped blue jeans
Baking soda, kerosene
What you say, and what you mean
Half the time, this gets to me
