lyrics

This catatonic dispute you
Just keeps you catching hell
Action or telling tales
Compromising your values

You thank god somehow
He's caught you in his cross hairs
A right cross to the mouth
Under a hail of scumbags
A fake name that you made up
The sensation of fighting dyslexia
Shored up upon retrieve
Make it up as you go

Wing and a prayer game plan
No clue you caught a tiger's
No truth referred to by name
Fat chance it got you

And we sow, we sow, we sow
We know, we know, we know
We sow, we sow, we sow
We know, we know, we sow
Lethargy finds complicity
Good times that we'd wish for
Melt to nothing at all
Like I've tried to tell you

Catch all the shattered glass
Captain your good ship wretched
You drink it all up
Not seeming so futile now
Not seeming so ham fisted now
Trotting softly upon the clouds
I'm not saying I've got it all
Calmly figured out

Tap dance, tap dance, tap dance
Back pedal, pedal, pedal
It shocks you like you're brand new
Time to slough it off

That's all resolved, that's all
That's all resolved that's all
That's all resolved that's all
Resolved, resolved, resolved
