No Nature - A Lot Like Birds

I say the devil runs this hole

And hides his subjects wisely

We won’t be waiting

We won’t be waiting

Oh please.

(Give it up!)

Don’t use your spells on me.

(Give it up! Do your worst!)

Disruption, the séance, a curse upon all of us

An addiction to chaos?

I can relate

Kinda got the same damn problem myself

Away from the furnace it feels like a vague supernatural strain

Get closer baby!

It’s like the real flame!

How long can you hold in your breath for?

Long enough to fan out the fumes?

Who is it you’re saving your best for?

And is he showing up soon?

To show you that all prayers fall on deaf ears

Best to save the fresh air

And hey, who can blame you for wishing?

(Give it up!)

Hope’s probably the last thing any of us can take from you.

(Stop!)

But we’ll get there eventually.

We take everything

Why’d you even come back in the first place?

(Turn! Back!)

This isn’t your home anymore.

It’s mine.

It’s ours.

(Leave.)

My tangled knots are wound so tight they never untie

My mangled tongue’s a mother birthing nothing but lies

My prodigy’s in the dark with no need for eyes

Hold on, watch your step when you’re walking down

Don’t want to wake anyone

Everything you lost watches closely

Don’t go far from the stairs

Oh, when will it be all over?

Will you let me leave when it’s over?

I know you’re not superstitious but you might just want to give it a try

Cross your heart and pray to die now!

Knock on wood, turn off the lights now!

Put your skin where I can taste it!

Come on down, we’re in the basement!

Oh god, someone save us from us!

Pacing back and forth, pacing back and forwards

Words fill up the space, words fill up the spaces

Is there any way, is there any way in?

In or out’s the same, in or out’s the same place

Home can be such a terrible place

When they won’t let you leave

When you don’t have the means

If I die in my sleep, will I dream before I do?

And live this one final night in my desolate room

The room inside my head, ceilingless, fulfilling

If God can grant me this, then I might just go willing
