Lady future's arms are lily white
They stretch before you come inside
There's room enough, she's generous
Come on, come up while we're still young
I want to live a life from a prison
I want your uninvited altruisms
The homemade weapons you are fashioning
Are hellbent on doing us both in
You better mean what you say
Why don't you say what you mean
I never get anywhere
I get the space in between
Beautifully mutilated
Instantly antiquated
I will admit I almost always underestimate it
Let's begin at the beginning
Let us revisit the past
Like when the houselights start dimming
In silver screen photograph
It makes a beautiful sound
When nobody else is around
It has a wonderful way
Of eating up entire days
We'll go swimming in libations
Forgive unexplained lacerations
These otherworldly manifestations
I wanna live in the breath you are wasting
(We go over again)
(Let's wash our hands of everything)
You better mean what you say
Why don't you say what you mean
I never get anywhere
I get the space in between
Beautifully mutilated
Instantly antiquated
I will admit I almost always underestimate it
(You don't owe them anything)
No, you don't owe them anything
You never mean what you say
Why don't you say what you mean
I never get anywhere
I get the space in between
Beautifully mutilated
Instantly antiquated
I will admit I almost always underestimate it
(Here we go again)
You never mean what you say
Why don't you say what you mean
I never get anywhere
I get the space in between
(Wash our hands of everything)
Beautifully mutilated
Instantly antiquated
I will admit I almost always underestimate it
