well isn't this a stimulating conversation?
no tears, no shame, no fears I have left to claim
I practice my goodbyes, then I always change my mind
but today it's too late
and yes i know we've done this all before, but I could not give you more
so today is the day
a rotating cast of reptiles every day
each night there is a trial by a firing squad
and I, condemned, will die
each night until I escape
and now I'm outside the wall, and still you want me to crawl
but today it's too late
and yes I know you've seen me trip and fall
now watch me walk away,
wake up in an unfamiliar place in the middle of the night
no chains
am I awake? I was dreaming I'm alive
welcome to my kingdom in exile
wrecked and alive
over my shoulder I keep one eye
