lyrics

Go without
'Til the need seeps in
You're lovin more
Collecting of the petals for the stem

And glow
Glow
Melt and flow
Eviscerate your fragile frame
And spill it out in the ragged floor
A thousand different versions of yourself

And if the old guards still defend
They got nothing left on which you depend
So enlist every ounce
Of your bright blood
And off with their heads
Jump from the brook
You're not obliged to swallow anything you despise
See, those unrepenting buzzards want your life

And they got no right
As sure as you have eyes
They got no right

Just put yourself in my new shoes
and see that I do what I do
because the old guards still defend
(pretty guards with shiny hands)
we got nothing left on which we depend
so enlist every ounce
of your bright blood
And off with their heads
Jump from the brook
You're not obliged to swallow anything you despise
you despise
that you despise
that you despise
that you despise
