Return of the Re​-​Offender

lyrics

I’ve got the shakes and porcelain organs. But the cavities have been reinforced.
They keep out your gaze but I’m waiting for that day I let the bull through the door
You’re counting down the minutes but I’m saving every second of this and helping them breathe
I’ll be making notes on whether you can weather it
You’ll be writing poems deciding when it’s time to give up

Holding onto the red light. It flickers dimly. Never moves from my side.
You scream to let go, you said it wasn’t in me to see it burn bright

Slow down, not too heavy now. Heavy won’t convince her to stay.
While the answers are resting, these questions are testing you, bearing you down with the weight
Every indiscretion, every hard earned lesson is worth having around
I’ll be making notes on whether you can weather it
You’ll be writing poems deciding when it’s time to give up

Holding onto the red light. It flickers dimly. Never moves from my side.
You scream to let go, you said it wasn’t in me to see it burn bright
There never was a time
There never was a time to say

Lift up your eyes, lift them up high. Watch out for wars that reside in the sky
But Hold out your arms, hold them out wide, don’t wonder when the masses of metal collide
