lyrics

Pick me up, dry me off
put me on the mantel or the pillow by the fire
that you got in the mail
signaling the soldiers dressed in white
from the annexed life you tried so hard to fight
ooh

your faces is cold, it feels like fire
you missed a date across the wire
the marble man says,
"relax, you're gonna find another better other half who's more my style"
but you just can't see it now, boy
fill your heart with lead
they'll never notice, never notice

I'm joining the fight, against the notion that my life
has only been, could ever be, more of the same
come join my cause, make it yours, do what you want
fall in line, follow suit of future kings
and down with this sort of thing, oh

I'm never gonna let them know
just what I did to make you feel at home
take my by surprise
do you feel everything caving in?
no matter what you do you're never gonna win
but it's all just petty lies
and you just can't see it now boy
fill your heart with love
they'll never notice, never notice

I'm joining the fight, against the notion that my life
has only been, could ever be, more of the same
come join my cause, make it yours, do what you want
fall in line, follow suit of future kings
and down with this sort of thing, oh
