lyrics

woah the thick grey blood that comes
when the gates are blasted wide open at last
take in the new colors now
for too many years blue and red were not allowed
purple was one they said youd go to hell for

what is that you smell
is it wine you already know the smell of wine
is it alternatives
so fresh and new but theyre eight times older than you

i give to the bees an offering
for i am a jagged pavement offspring
pray they take me however they wish to take me if theyre able to take me
i cant hurt or really heal
cant find it in me to steal
i just blow hard into my moldy clarinet

everythings got way more stairs
and everyones got way less feet
everyones got foreheads streaking all across the street
tell me now you cant say that
and go and say a lot of that
why read the news when you can spin this wheel

everything persists out of spite
including you at three at night
talking to the raccoons in the ceiling
i give to the bees an offering
for i am a jagged pavement offspring
pray they take me however they wish to take me if theyre able to take me
