lyrics

Everyone but me is evil robots
And the floor is made of lava and the walls are all closing up
Don’t call me up ‘cause I don’t know what
I can do to help you there’s no way of leaving this room
But oh my god, filled with hatred
Egg shell walkers, halo chasers
Peace among the promise breakers
Sinkholes underneath the pavement
We’re your family all around you
Proud of everything about you
Feeling locked out, feeling lied to
Truth you crossed out crucified you
It’s like there’s a side to you we know and there’s a side to you we don’t
But shame and terror, fear and hatred
Coming down through generations
Disintegration, disintegration
Are you not graceful? Are you not patient?
Are you not grateful now for the way you are?

I hate the way they talk about you
Smell in the air some old, burned out truth
Like a prayer for when you’re scared
Find no comfort anywhere
Hold what heavy, hearty fruits the hungry dirt decides to return
It seems like all you ever feel now are the holes torn in your future

Everyone but me is evil robots
And the floor is made of lava
The walls are closing in to crush us
Myles I can see the future screaming through the caterwaul
Sometimes I see things getting better
Sometimes I don’t see you here at all
It’s like the ending of a past life I still share a skeleton with
And this might take all of the courage you didn’t know you had to give
But there are no one-shot redemptions
It’s something that happens slowly
Cried until you were out of breath
Said nowadays it’s good to know me

Everyone but me is evil robots
And the floor is made of lava
The walls are all closing up
When it feels like
Leaning on people always leads you straight to hurt
Remember it was you that hung the moon up in my world
