Recorded live at Studio Zoot, vocal overdubs by Mac

lyrics

Widen your eyes, let's try sincere
All this can change and disappear

Language is secret among kindred souls
Hunger is filling up our empty holes
You get what you take
If you listen and you learn
You get what you pay for
It's not what you earn
It's the pieces you hide
from the ones who can see
It's a joke with a punchline
that looks just like me
It’s the things that you do, little clues in the wild
It's the suicide letter from your inner child

Watch your mouth
Better watch your step
Hold your tongue
Don't hold your breath

What to forget just to keep us alive?
What to forgive on our bloodthirsty drive?
Why tell the truth? It's so easy to lie
Who gets to live?
'Cause we're all gonna die
Yeah we're all gonna die

Watch your mouth
Better watch your step
Hold your tongue
Don't hold your breath

Widen your eyes, lets try sincere
All this can change and disappear
