[Verse 1: Cory Hanson]

I can't believe

That you turned it on yourself

And you made things so much worse than they ever could be

What are you gonna leave to me?

And you deflate

Like a balloon on a lake

Like a swollen tiger combing the swamp for debris

All that you see in me

[Verse 2: Cory Hanson]

We get thin like old kings

Who have lived for far too long

'Til our empires fall over on horses and feet

Frozen until the spring

I can't believe

That the money was not real

That the promises we keep are no worse than the lies

Nobody wants to believe

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3: Cory Hanson, Sofia Arreguin]

(Stay close and warm)

And I can't believe

(Let the assignment turn you on)

That the language we both speak

(We won't hold our lights to shield your eyes from the dark)

Wasn't given or created by you or by me

(Shadow we all came from)

All we express and see

(Fold both your arms)

And you can scream

(Fall back asleep but watch the clock)

'Til your face turns to a plum

(See an image of this song burn like a coat)

An old rotten knot of feathers that used to be wings

(What will the world become?)

And other useless dreams
