lyrics

Did you see what they said? The news is spewing fire
and integrity is dead. We are alone in the dark, too
afraid to depart from the comfort of our heads.
Don’t tell me you’re afraid. Without the distance there
I cannot accurately gauge my empathy towards you
or my desire to care. It’s nothing against you,
but I got my own to bear.
God bless America today, I guess we were just
hopeless either way. I just wanted something I
could maybe believe in, but what do I know? I’m
only a heathen. A hedonistic witness to an
unforgiving sickness we love.
So I sacrifice my hands to those better suited to
know the things I can’t. The camera’s on, the
lights are red. Only static in my head,
but damn, don’t I feel like a new man. Could
you listen to me better? Could you somehow
just forget her? If I took my words and paint
them red, just like the ones that Jesus said,
would you hear me better?
God bless America today, I guess we were just
fucked up either way. I just wanted something I
could maybe believe in, but what do I know?
I’m only a heathen.
A hedonistic witness
to an unforgiving sickness we love.
