Lyrics

They Always Come

I’ve been drying for it

Plugged in again

Now it won’t bend

You’ve been frying for it

A mound of smack

Won’t fill the crack

They always come in two's

All the space they always use

All the steps I’ve taken to hide me

Not sure now what’s left inside me

So I’ve taken to napping

All the things I left unspoken

The one that slipped still got me choking

Hope it don’t mean I’ll start snapping

I’ve been drying for it

Plugged in again

Now it won’t bend

You’ve been frying for it

A mound of smack

Won’t fill the crack

They always come in two's

All the space they always use

All the steps I’ve taken to hide me

Not sure now what’s left inside me

So I’ve taken to napping

All the things I left unspoken

The one that slipped still got me choking

Hope it don’t mean I’ll start snapping

Can’t face them man

The ones you left

You can't trace me

The sky broke down

That rainy sound

Gotta save me
