lyrics

You know you want to trust them
You know you want to trust them all
The greedy grinding of your pen
Signs lives away, it becomes a literal fiction

When my brainial levels are active
Is when I use a bit more subtraction
It's when I become less attractive

Shack up breathing, X achieving, pistols drawn, pointed at the ceiling
In the back you'll feel relaxed, you take a seat, you wear this hat
Now reach into your holsters, gents, draw out your guns and love the resistance

I never wanted to be the only one
The only one who's not having fun
I never wanted to be
The only one awake in this dream

Closing borders, hazy murders, subtleties of loving further
Shotgun alleys, band-aid sorries, watering a dried up valley
In the wild old west, a face off,
It's a gun show to take the edge off
Bring in more of what you got
We'll have an old fashioned send off

I am the moon and the stars
I am the faceless shards
I'll vibrate to where you are
I never wanted to be
An actor in this pointless story

Some say, some say
some say, some say
There's a riddle in your head
There's a demon, he loves you instead

I'll shoot the moon and the stars
Forgive my raging heart
I'll survive my walk in the dark
I never wanted to be
An actor in this pointless story

I never wanted, I never wanted to be
I never wanted, I never wanted to be
I never wanted to be
