Things We Tell Ourselves In The Dark

A fever dream reach across the streets
The streets of legacy
Encase a throat of gold
(The things we tell ourselves in the dark)

Never heard what was said to weep alone
In this racing madness
(Bright eyed with power)
(Prettiest at the ball
Grandest dreams of all)
Machine like precision to rid me of concern

The empathetic creatures are hunted for reward
It's sorted
It's boring
Prosperity

Beggars worship in the street
Dropping flowers by my feet
As it is
What it was

To all the old egos we've sold
How does it grow? Marigold
To all the old egos we've sold
How does it grow? Marigold

Kiss the ring, miserable degrees
A figment of our nightmare
I'll have a little fun with a slightly loaded gun
Please, try and hear me out
Machine like precision to rid me of concern

The empathetic creatures are hunted for reward
It's sorted
You're boring
Prosperity
Prosperity

Lift
Place
Proceed

I'm standing by your back door
Waiting to strike and capture
Machine like precision

Lift
Place
Proceed

I'm standing by your back door
Waiting to strike and capture
The empathetic creatures
Machine like precision

Blinded by my shining star
Lurching with my fat cigar
A showering of gold

Secretly smoldering
Can't find peace within
Secretly (secretly) smoldering (smoldering)
Can't find peace within (peace within)

Trapped in twisted spaces
Dissolve the crowd, devour
La dee da
Trapped in twisted spaces
Dissolve the crowd, devour
La dee da
Trapped in twisted spaces
Dissolve the crowd, devour
La dee da
Trapped in twisted spaces
Dissolve the crowd, devour
La dee da

As it is
What it was

Things we tell ourselves in the dark
In the dark (tell ourselves)
In the dark
What is was

To all the old egos we've sold
How does it grow? Marigold
To all the old egos we've sold
How does it grow? Marigold
To all the old egos we've sold
How does it grow? Marigold
To all the old egos we've sold
How does it grow? Marigold
