We're tethered from the sand
Wait list to the government
It's been known to me, my dear
And I don't know how to speak
You were there since you know me
Every now and then, I slip away
Ey, what do you know, huh? Not a goddamn thing
What have you got planned? Not a goddamn thing
When the wall collapses and the fire burns
And the world unravels, whoo
They gave you idols and told you to close your eyes, ugh
They gave you rifles, son
They gave you rifles and told you to close your eyes, whoo
With your books in your arms and your paratroops
And the lies that they tell that they pause the truth
And you buy us truth to the lies you, whoa
But they just want love, ah, they just want love
They put a couple of arms
Right under your arms, tell you 'secret is ours'
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
And I don't know how to speak
You were there since you know me
Every now and then, I slip away
And I don't know how to speak
You were there since you know me
Every now and then, I slip away
Why must it be so simple?
I wish I'd be so sure, nah
I'm unsettled, in so many ways
And you lie to us, you, you, you
Never fight for us, you, you, you
Shine a light on it, you, you, you
And some day, we'll fall back to the place
Where I don't know how to speak
You were there since you know me
Every now and then, I slip away
And I don't know how to speak
You were there since you know me
Every now and then, I slip away
