The Dissentience

[Refrain]

Down the street half a block away

In a familiar place regular people

Agree with each other in smoke signals

(Down the street half a block and in a familiar place

Regular people are agreeing with each other)

[Breakdown]

Interprets the law as aging with its eyesight failing

The law is aging (Oh yes it is)

Sitting across, telling stories

Eyes unclosed like books we've read twice

(So sit across the table, feed me some lies)

[Verse]

So cry ghost, baby

So on the shelves lined with spines

The dust collects as scattered ash

From an urn unturned

Spilling over someone regular

And other such regulars

Cry ghost, or boast

Of a friend of a friend

Who saw a strange sight

Or heard a strange sound

Now whisper tall tales of murder

[Refrain]

Down the street, half a block away

In a familiar place, regular people

Agree with each other in smoke signals

Brought together to burn, brought together to burn

[Bridge]

Interpret the law as aging with its eyesight failing

Interpret the law as aging with its eyesight failing

[Pre-Chorus]

Somebody's little girl

Dreams of the things she's read

[Chorus]

Somebody's somebody's little girl

Dreams of the things she read

Or the monsters in her bed

Who hacked her

[Post-Chorus]

To blood-meat

[Chorus]

Somebody's little girl

Dreams of the things she read

Or the monsters in her bed

Who hacked her to blood-meat
