lyrics

Modern envy, broken by design
Swaying, stealing glances at his technicolor wife
Nightclub whispers, serenading us
Conspicuous intentions & a wallet full of lust
Guilty pleasures, lick the hand that feeds
Searching for a monologue that covers all her needs
Faceless shadows fortify the bar
Trying to forget how insignificant we are

And I don't know, I don’t know which way to go
Oh I don't know, I don’t know if I should say hello

Something wicked this way comes
“Son, try to avoid that deviant blonde”
...that blonde

Ruby slippers, another slipped my mind
Busy taking photos of the sentimental kind
Imperfection, curse this gentle breeze
Sensation of completion I will probably never see
Empty handed, stumbling down the street
Silhouette of wasted life so quiet in defeat
Inner kingdom, total disarray
The sun will come so I can rise to fall another way

“Judgement mistaken in the golden age of the gas station
She starts her crying, but her lips are moving so I know she's lying”

Something wicked this way came
