lyrics

An imaginary depressive demure and itching to forget
That I'm just up and down with the varying notes of my voice
Fall back from the dizzying heights
Fall back from the dizzying heights

Picked up by the treads of my crack boots as
I come home and crash into the gates
but it's spewed out on the rubble and stepped on
every day as I walk out of my front door

This is the price to have your roots poisoned by your guilty hands
Whilst the lines on your lips stay moist with your drool and vicious stare
Fall back from the dizzying heights
Fall back from the dizzying heights

Break sweat and break off all ties and put your arms around
me as enslaving chaos held together by
both sides of you and this spit can wash dirt down
the plug hole to the patriarch of us
