Killswitch indifference to a liquid narrative
Obviously, I tried writing you out of the will
I just hadn’t the guts to lie through my teeth
Though only because I'm susceptible
To the truth on the bleakest of moons
Though there is beauty in a whole truth
The knotty roots of a shameful past
Will never let it be
Each new shoot is an escape root
Loot the debris
And make no mistake we are living out our last days
In the land of the blind
Where the one-eyed man was king
Until he lost his fucking mind, hey

Ba ba ba ba ba baow

So if you just lend me that fifty pence piece in your hand
And then close your eyes
I’m going to make me and this fifty pence piece disappear
