lyrics

I was working downtown in the mountain factory
Just the molehill measurements, the stoned residents and me.
Had a vision of a collision of faults
Put a strange range through each and every single one of my thoughts.

All I've ever been after was an honest fill--
But from a crest of dirt the only way you can turn is downhill.
As frozen as time in the dragon museum
Where the history's fake, but the bones are real.

I said, "I don't even see a flesh wound!"
And I don't know how to look at things I can't see
Is it medical, is it natural, is it even actual?
I need Athena's divine Aegis of the hospital vernacular.

Oh these butterflies can feel the size of eagles
Or vultures even on their finite loop
You can almost hear them scream as they swoop
"You only get what you praypreypay for".

I've never been nervous like this before
