[Verse 1]

One hand on this wily comet

Take a drink just to give me some weight

Some uber-man I'd make

I'm barely a vapor

They shone a chlorine light on

A host of individual sins

Let's carve my aging face off

Fetch us a knife

Start with my eyes

Down so the lines

Form a grimacing smile

[Verse 2]

Close your eyes to corral a virtue

Is this fooling anyone else?

Never worked so long and hard

To cement a failure

We can blow on our thumbs and posture

But the lonely are such delicate things

The wind from a wasp could blow them

Into the sea

With stones on their feet

Lost to the light and the loving we need

[Chorus]

Still to come

The worst part and you know it

There is a numbness

In your heart and it's growing

[Verse 3]

With burnt sage and a forest of bygones

I click my heels

Get the devils in line

A list of things I could lay the blame on

Might give me a way out

But with each turn

It's this front and center

Like a dart stuck square in your eye

Every post you can hitch your faith on

Is a pie in the sky

Chock full of lies

A tool we devise

To make sinking stones fly

[Chorus]

And still to come

The worst part and you know it

There is a numbness

In your heart and it's growing
