Pull the knife from your side
The stitch from your hide
That's kept you from sleeping
Release the air from your mind
Your nerves have been fried
And darkness keeps creeping
Hey Listen
Yeah that's the sound of the light
That's beamed in at night
To keep your eyes wide and unblinking
Its a hole in your head
A crack in your bed
Wake up and your sinking, sinking
Hey Listen
Ah sometimes everything hurts
From your bones to your fur
But you kick and you jerk and smile through it
Fuck that, not to be terse
You're driving a hearse
They gave you the keys but don't do it
Its a cult and a myth
Take care of yourself
Take care and don't join it
Twenty four hours a day
Controlled and compelled
It's time to destroy it
Hey Listen
Hey Listen
Ah sometimes everything hurts
From your bones to your fur
But you kick and you jerk and smile through it
Fuck that, not to be terse
You're driving a hearse
They gave you the keys but don't do it
Sometimes everything hurts
From your bones to your fur
But you get back to work and smile through it
Fuck that, not to be terse
You're driving a hearse
They gave you the keys but don't do it
Don't do it
Don't do it
