lyrics

I should warn you that
things are not
going well
for me

Through this armor,
invisible,
the bruise still blooms,
you see

And I’ve tried to research
but there’s no way to reason
a cough,
a count,
or a crook

And he won’t relinquish
the secret that keeps us
trapped at the end of a hook

This is a bad -
no, this is a bad
a very bad beginning
a very bad beginning

This marvelous, menacing plan
Distraction is played by a man
Think quickly, as fast as you can, and write a way out

These books that no one will read
These lives they never will lead
We’re just children, I guess that we need to
find our way out

But if you can’t escape from the pages
How can you free yourself in real life?
If you can’t escape in the pages
How can you stop him from taking a wife?

This is a bad -
no, this is a bad
a very bad beginning
a very bad beginning

Oh, oh, oh, oh, woah

Threatening
Threatening eyes
Threatening, I don’t deserve this
Threatening,
Threatening - I don’t deserve to die

Threatening
Threatening eyes
Threatening, I don’t deserve this
Threatening,
Threatening eyes
Does anyone deserve to die?

Oh

Does anyone deserve to… die?
