Lyrics

Impossible Feeling

[Verse 1]

Spelling

In bruises

"Crazy iris"

Writing out

In welts

"The morbid iris"

[Pre-Chorus]

Intolerable

Incomprehensible

[Chorus]

You can never earn enough

To buy the gun that you want

So you photograph the marks

But the blood you spite

Sputters up, up, up, up

Out, out, out, out

[Post-Chorus]

Up and up

Up and up

[Verse 2]

Drafted

In a gash

"out of focus iris"

[Bridge]

Fill up the bath with glass

And cover your face

In the shroud of the impossible feeling

In the shroud of the impossible feeling

In the shroud of the impossible feeling
