the amount of power that the government has is scaring me cuz
the police just raided a climate activist art gallery
but i know they'll all be congratulated
and i know they'll think they deserve a rise
for sitting on their ass all day
shouting at other men saying
here here here
i wish that i was the modern day guy fawkes
i'd kill em all with my 100,000 sharp steel pitch forks
but its okay i'll be alright
it'll be like 1799
i wish that i was the modern guy fawkes
i'd make em scream 'god have so much mercy on me'
well you didnt have mercy for starving kids
or immigrants
or health care systems that we built
schools and colleges
u just did it for ur own wealth
so take that silver spoon from eton and find a better reason for living than leeching off of starving peoples funds
cuz people quote on quote living here have been living off of baked and coffee beans
so have another affair with ur wife cuz youll never have a happy life
livin like that

im living out of spite
im talking out of spite
and despite the fact i wanna move on
its kinda hard to do when ur shackled by drums
in your head you know its true
all the people doing better than you
im constantly confided in those who deny me
my simple right of doing what i want to do
oh im getting in your head
im stealing your thunder
oh what wondrous things we can do when sit down and play chess
im starting to ponder
what your head would like on my wall
would the blood just drip drip drip fall
im getting in your head
im ten moves ahead
you cant kill me im already dead
was it meant to be like this?
was it meant to be like this?
how am i meant to like this?

do u like what im saying?
do u like the sounds coming of mouth?
am i being too loud? does my voice sound too camp?
but its funny how i can meet someone many years ago
and still maintain a connection and laugh abt it you know
you dont know how bad u fucked me up
you dont know how it feels to hurt like this
im shanked in my knees
in my chest oh please
oh it would probably be better to stop u oh leave me
oh it hurts that i shock you
it hurts to block you
it hurts that it has to be this way
stay away stay away stay away
but its funny how i can meet someone many years ago
and still maintain a connection and laugh abt it you know
fun times like this hoppin on trains and shit
doing all the things we wanted to do actin like kids
ohhh how does my body look?
does it contort in a direction that you probably would?
ohhh how is my fucking style?
is it comparable to the way i make you smile?

i'll be like my soul, i'll be liven the life, i'll be like the moon, i'll be underneath you
i'll be under the sun, in the garden getting high in the late afternoon
what you say, what do u mean?
people relating to me, parasocially
all my friends empty
ive convinced myself
too borin
ive been shelved
wake up to a moral obligation
to act a certain way
i did this to myself
but its not goin away
ive tried, oh ive tried to not write anymore songs about you,
but if its not in my mind initially, it raised up subconsciously
cuz i know youd love that
i know youll writhe in it
seein me seeth over
pining over
what we couldve been
right?
cuz i know youd love that
i know youll writhe in it
seein me seeth over
pining over
what we couldve been
right?
what we couldve been
right?
my eyes, theyre growing flowers
thorns through my veins
everything i do is vain
grass through the smalls of my legs
moss on my teeth
i am becoming one again
fo le mi my eyes cant see ur face
i think that u are pretty
fo le mi my eyes cant see ur hands
mine are twisted up vines
fo le mi my eyes cant see ur stare
my heart can it goes bah dah dah dah dum

i talk to you like it hasnt affected me
like it didnt rip a scar, directly between my knees
but i dont hate you, i just dont want you to worry
i didnt wanna fuck up any kinda thing that you had goin
i know that it was probably a blip to you
its easy to laugh about all the things that you already have
poppy seeds and white roses
the glint of light refracting off the sheets
so here i am behind the looking glass
seeing how life couldve been
but for one night i feel safety and warmth
but god knows, it was never meant to be
some things are never meant to be
