lyrics

it's a step up from screaming with no meaning
and i was singing
just a step up from bleeding my heart to a stranger
and so it goes, a waking peace
a slumber filled with the deceased
nine centuries of los angeles
strewn debris, it all comes to me
my sympathy becomes fat with greed
i'll pay you back when i get some

pine trees
arrows and leaves
my disease will be contracted by touch
god knows i don't ask for much

it's deception, the malice in the chalice
the crystal palace
the patter of the chatter
it all shatters at the right frequency
it's a step up from crawling and failing almost completely
it's a step up from death i know
but that don't make it right
don't make me want to go along with you
along with you and all the shit you pull
