Nerve and Vein

Loud scars over racy pulses, laugh tracks over Luminol
A clock without a single tick, a life on cruise control
She lost her life in a game of high-stake charades
Web-thin mosquito limbs buried in the everglades (don't know you)
I did all the legwork when I found the liquor store
But now I need a kickstand and I can't find the door

It's everything, it's everything, in full swing
It's anyone, it's everyone, it's anyone, your favorite son (don't know you)

Polite as church ushers she's a dusty sawdust doll
A clock without a single tick, a knife through a bullet hole
She lost herself in a game of high stake charades
Web-thin mosquito limbs, remarried in a hurricane
What pulse or pause can automate their dreamless lives?
Cruelty as a reflex waives the real surprise
Wide awake in their hand-me-downs the kids chant a song about falling down

It's everything, it's everything, in full swing
It's anyone, It's everyone, it's anyone, your backward son (don't know you)

Every nerve and vein
Every nerve and vein
Every nerve and vein
Every nerve and vein
