[Verse 1]
I'm sure that I'm fine but I heard there's a bath in a river of glass, so I'll take it
I've always known that the smiles that were shown were plastic and hollow lines
[Chorus]
And I'll, I'll be damned
Your metaphor dollar-fed God got into my head
Hey now, plastics gather 'round now
You're waitin' with your hands out
For the blood flies to come and carry you home
[Verse 2]
Doubt is a crime and I caught me at last
Running circles in rounded-off places
Scanning for hope but these windows of gold
Play tricks on my eyes
[Chorus]
And I'll, I'll be damned
Your metaphor dollar-fed God got into my head
Hey now, plastics gather 'round now
You're waitin' with your hands out
For the blood flies to come and carry you home
[Verse 3]
Why don't we pull apart and look inside
The curtains of origins that imitate life
And where you are is where I'll be
Floating arms of azure seas
Who will you inspire?
[Bridge]
As I watch this world below
And the world I watch grows smaller and smaller
Fear and love all collide and all at once
The piper plays green, tearing the sleeves
Pulled up from the sea and thrown through the ceiling
Stepping stones so carefully untouched
You'll only leave this world alone
[Pre-Chorus]
Strange that you think you can fly
Strapped to a stone in a blinked needle's eye
[Chorus]
I'll, I'll be damned
Your all-time-low just lowered again
Hey now, plastics gather round now
You're waitin' with your hands out
Waitin' for the war flies
Waitin' for the blood flies to come and carry you
