lyrics

They hang us on the hook
They hang us out to dry
Won’t they be surprised
When the bait defends its life?
They incorporate corporate corporeality into cerebral cells
No one can help you get up off the floor if they can’t figure out where you fell

Nobody cares how good you can swim at the bottom of an empty well
And no one extracts the moral
From the story you never tell
Cut the wire
Feed the fire
Close the door
It’s getting cold

The story is in the book
You can read it at your leisure
Stunted by design
And shamed away from pleasure
And for the mind
There is no sympathy
And for the heart
There is no sympathy
And for the hand
There is no sympathy
They’re gonna break you if you try

Nobody cares how good you can swim at the bottom of an empty well
And no one connects the glory
to the hero who finally fell
Cut the wire
Feed the fire
Close the door
It’s getting cold

It seems to me the hardest of hearts are breaking everywhere
And we can’t seem to remedy these diseases of despair
The weight of what we watch is what we wish we could repair
But they’ve taken the tools and twisted the rules to reflect what is theirs
It’s gonna blow up someday

They hang us on the hook
They hang us out to dry
Won’t they be surprised
When the bait defends its life?

Nobody cares how good you can swim at the bottom of an empty well
And no one extracts the moral
From the story you never tell
Cut the wire
Feed the fire
Close the door
It’s getting cold

It seems to me the hardest of hearts are breaking everywhere
And we can’t seem to remedy these diseases of despair
The way the whole thing works is what we wish we could repair
But they’ve taken the tools and twisted the rules to make the whole thing theirs
It’s gonna blow up someday
IT’S GONNA BLOW UP SOMEDAY
