Out of everyone I knew here
You were the honest one, yeah the honest one
Empire and a crown of thorns
Today you get two for one
And the rope around your neck we'll call halo when you're gone
In front of the screen so long that your eyes fell out
Anything for your daily bread
Shirt tucked in, shaking hands
Till your arms fell off, till your arms fell off

Every station is broadcasting
It gets better and you can move on
But they're dead wrong
dead, dead, dead wrong

A crowd trampling
The ever absent family
Weighing what to keep and what to throw away
Out of everyone I knew here
You were the honest, yeah the honest one

But you're arms fell off, yeah you're arms fell off

Every station is broadcasting
It gets better and you can move on
But they're dead wrong
Dead, dead, dead wrong
I don't belong, I don't belong
I'm down again like I said I was, down again like I said I was

I never knew that
Some things you can't turn away
your blanket's warm but
can it keep the frost at bay?
the heater's on

but will it stay that way?
seconds stretching out
a pattern crystalized
same 9 to 5
16 to 65
