Not in Letterkenny
Pitter patter
All your words are wasted
You're falling asleep with the lies in your teeth
And they miss with the blood
And you can taste it
Empathy was always just a distant dream
Everyone I loved was empty by 17
And I heard the way she hit where it hurts
Turned to a skid
With your face in the concrete
Some money to burn
And you know
Or at least you should
That there's no one to comment on the distance
When you're empty and you're living alone
Search your empty home for me
You had the world at your back
You set out on your own
Your spinning out and spitting poison
While we watch you leave
And I know you've been low
You've been drowning where the light don't reach
But you should know that you can't act like that
And get no respect, no
Not in Letterkenny
There's serpents in my arteries, it's true
But there's disaster in you
To wrestle with temptation
To learn that one is enough
To turn the tables on what I thought to call love
There's no one to comment on the distance
When you're empty and you're living alone
Search your empty home for me
You had the world at your back
You set out on your own
Your spinning out and spitting poison
While we watch you leave
And I know you've been low
You've been drowning where the light don't reach
But you should know that you can't act like that
And get no respect, no
Not in Letterkenny
I watched that poison tree bear fruit
Bittersweet, impatient and just like you
To hoard light through your clouded eyes
To lay snares of thorns in your twisted roots
And if sun ever breaks the branches
And sheds light on all the rage inside your chest
I hope you see my reasons
I hope you find your peace while there's still time left
But you're made up of spare parts
A disaster of a patchwork
Ripped and sown
Through the veil of shade you cast
The Earth will shift and the cities will swallow
And maybe mine is a road of ruin
I am a slave to truth, I know
Maybe me who's blinded
Maybe we're both better on our own
There's no one to comment on the distance
When you're empty and you're living alone
Search your empty home for me
You had the world at your back
You set out on your own
Your spinning out and spitting poison
While we watch you leave
And I know you've been low
You've been drowning where the light don't reach
But you should know that you can't act like that
And get no respect, no
Not in Letterkenny
All your words are wasted
You're falling asleep with the lies in your teeth
And they miss with the blood
And you can taste it
Empathy was always just a distant dream
Everyone I loved was empty by 17
And I heard the way she hit where it hurts
Turned to a skid
With your face in the concrete
Some money to burn
And you know
Or at least you should
That there's no one to comment on the distance
When you're empty and you're living alone
Search your empty home for me
You had the world at your back
You set out on your own
Your spinning out and spitting poison
While we watch you leave
And I know you've been low
You've been drowning where the light don't reach
But you should know that you can't act like that
