Shithawks

You're telling the world, they're going deaf

We all become reluctant participants

With no word of consequence

Burning ears are everywhere

The looming smell of flesh

You're talking shit and cold-hearted abandonment

But I can handle it

(Oh, feel that subsequence)

I hear you rattling them bones holding you tight

You're not alone, go fucking figure

Over-complicated is teenage blight

Are you surprised they're giving you the finger?

Let it be known they've got all the right

Cut me up and cut me out

Come on return the favor and sing it loud

Oh louder now

I never meant quite what I said

(Get over it)

My clumsy words were retrofitted

Watch what you say 'til you're fucking dead

And think of all the time we wasted

I've never been much for the afterglow

So let go and let's go

And watch it burn a hole

As all of the smoke escapes out the window

I never meant quite what I said

(Get over it)

My clumsy words were retrofitted

Watch what you say 'til you're fucking dead

And think of all the time we wasted

And every breath you took that left you choked and exasperated

I'll fix my eyes down to the floor as your abilities are celebrated

Just string those words along and end up red-faced, devastated

And if your mouth stays open I'll start pulling teeth

Until your words catch up with you, just wait and see

Wait for the things you do to follow you around

Wait for the things you say to bring in skies of rolling black clouds

I've never been afraid of the rain

These birds are circling overhead

We've grown suspect

And I expect

To lose my head one day

In this horrible mess

I never meant quite what I said

(Get over it)

My clumsy words were retrofitted

Watch what you say 'til you're fucking dead

And think of all the time we wasted
