The Wailing and the Gnashing and the Teeth
There's a whole world out there
But I'm sinking in shit
Nothing says dead end like a drug lords cul-de-sac
Two streets and they call this a city
Sometimes I see the the dead drive by
With my faith in the trunk
They're headed nowhere
Just like me
I'm sorry, Dan
I'm doing what I can
We let you down again
Fuck this band
I'm sorry, Dan
This city stole my plans
Gave them to people I can't stand
Fuck this band
I'm a swollen catamite
Stuck in adolescence
I'm a self aware sinner
With no confessions
Bang down this door
With a fury unbeknown I just can't tell if I'm locked out
Or if I'm locked in
It's a trap I'm engaged to, a fiance I'm arranged to
Home to everything...
And as soon as the lock turns,
A haunted house of drowning fairies -
We're celebrating a day early again
I'm sorry, Dan
I'm doing what I can
We let you down again
Fuck this band
I'm sorry, Dan
This city ruined my plans
I used to be an honest man
Fuck this band
Scum of my soul, please grow old
Every lesson I've been told
Reeks of privilege undeserved,
Tend to the rabbits, mark my words
Genuine whores with leather skin,
Turn away, don't let them in
If there's one thing I've learned from the filth I live,
Is that nature always wins
Mother, father - should have settled past the grade
Sheltered and yet homeless, every feeling the same
Mother, father - thank's for the clever name
At least I'll have something when this city breaks
No change, only age
But I'm sinking in shit
Nothing says dead end like a drug lords cul-de-sac
Two streets and they call this a city
Sometimes I see the the dead drive by
With my faith in the trunk
They're headed nowhere
Just like me
I'm sorry, Dan
I'm doing what I can
We let you down again
Fuck this band
I'm sorry, Dan
This city stole my plans
Gave them to people I can't stand
Fuck this band
I'm a swollen catamite
Stuck in adolescence
I'm a self aware sinner
With no confessions
Bang down this door
With a fury unbeknown I just can't tell if I'm locked out
Or if I'm locked in
It's a trap I'm engaged to, a fiance I'm arranged to
Home to everything...
And as soon as the lock turns,
A haunted house of drowning fairies -
We're celebrating a day early again
I'm sorry, Dan
I'm doing what I can
We let you down again
Fuck this band
I'm sorry, Dan
This city ruined my plans
I used to be an honest man
Fuck this band
Scum of my soul, please grow old
Every lesson I've been told
Reeks of privilege undeserved,
Tend to the rabbits, mark my words
Genuine whores with leather skin,
Turn away, don't let them in
If there's one thing I've learned from the filth I live,
Is that nature always wins
Mother, father - should have settled past the grade
Sheltered and yet homeless, every feeling the same
Mother, father - thank's for the clever name
At least I'll have something when this city breaks
No change, only age
