Intro

Verse

There she was

Graciously making forever less terrifying

And you've got the nerve

to intervene

with a coloring book and a byro and a point to prove

And now you want a word

Break

x2

Chorus

And you washed all the wisdom out your mouth

and the gas danced on the edge of your bottom lip

Quick to scurry back behind the night

To avoid the silent fight and the struggle

Verse

There I was

Panicking because someone else kissed me in a dream

and it was on the cheek

And you stamp your feet

and I'm moving from bored to appalled by these poignant fumes

that you must inflict

Chorus

And you washed all the wisdom out your mouth

and the gas danced on the edge of your bottom lip

Someone told me that that stench was called advice

Someone told me that that stench was called advice

Break

Verse

Took a solid breath

To a little rip

I've got to carry your broach to cover that hideous stitch

All that grim repair

and we're all upset

See the fear in your cheeks

and I still smell the lies on your breath

And your jokes don't bounce

and you've entered the early stages of bitterness

Solo

x4

Chorus

And you washed all the wisdom out your mouth

and the gas danced on the edge of your bottom lip

Quick to scurry back behind the night

To avoid the silent fight and the struggle

To avoid the silent fight and the struggle

To avoid the silent fight and the struggle
