No Ears

The lights were low enough, you guessed

You swapped your conscience with your fathers medication

Limped from Rome to Lawrenceville

And on the way wrote out a self-made declaration

And when you got to Pleasant Hill

You forced the traffic to erase your family demons

And made a pact with you and god

If you don't move I swear to you I'm gonna make ya

Do you need me?

Do you need me?

Do you need me?

Do you need me?

When the first officer arrived

It happened to be the high school bully of your brother

When you finally recognized

You felt some guilt that he had even let him touch you

Can you hear me? What's your name?

You could not speak just laid amazed at all the damage

And as the high school's letting out

All the kids are saying the same thing that they used to

It's an alien

It's an alien

It's an alien

It's an alien

The lights were low enough you guessed

Hospital food, and there's never enough medication

The doctor asks about your ears

You said your mom said you were made from a revelation

The revelation never scares

Your fear came from your drunken dad and a pair of scissors

Were you just finally letting go?

Did you want to take out all those people with you?

Didn't mean to

Didn't mean to

Didn't mean to

Didn't mean to
