I'm in debted and inundated
and a little antiquated
slowly slowing down
turn our pockets out
trade them into pawn
its our golden age

we've been sold on the hand me downs
but the time comes for us to leave this town
when its not like what they told you how
when its not like what they told you how

two winding arms
spinning around
spiral out
pull me in
into the moonlight
inch by inch
I don't mind to watch the paint dry

we've been sold on the hand me downs
but the time comes for us to leave this town
when its not like what they told you how
when its not like what they told you how

it hit me like a ton of bricks
I'm still in shock
god I'm never to recover
I'm always in recovery
a functioning tragic freak
rolling off the frequency
one thing led to another see
it made me be another me
this one had more impatience too
more patients than a doctor sees
more seasons than a seasoning
or more lines of sight than nine eyes can see
one eye for each life
