lyrics
Scratch your back for the back
Scratch your chin for the scratch
Funny, it's the same act
It's the reasons you lack
Unharnessed, bedecked and bejeweled
Unfolded, collapsed and unfueled
Though your face is alight
It's not screwed on
It's not screwed on too tight
It shone now it's gone
Hey bright boy, live the dash
This all will turn to ash
Take a look around
A fractured mind on a bed of sighs gets cauterized
A waste of space, chipped teeth and blood taste, deadweight
Entitlement reigns
You're a deadweight
Enlightenment pales
Yet we sing and we sing
Meted out in spades
You're a deadweight
Provoking bees to sting
We still sing, we still sing
Like your mirror of pearls
Will end up embers
And this all will unfurl
Return to sender
Scratch your chin for the scratch
Funny, it's the same act
It's the reasons you lack
Unharnessed, bedecked and bejeweled
Unfolded, collapsed and unfueled
Though your face is alight
It's not screwed on
It's not screwed on too tight
It shone now it's gone
Hey bright boy, live the dash
This all will turn to ash
Take a look around
A fractured mind on a bed of sighs gets cauterized
A waste of space, chipped teeth and blood taste, deadweight
Entitlement reigns
You're a deadweight
Enlightenment pales
Yet we sing and we sing
Meted out in spades
You're a deadweight
Provoking bees to sting
We still sing, we still sing
Like your mirror of pearls
Will end up embers
And this all will unfurl
Return to sender
