woman i'll give you the grand tour
there's no reason for you to look closer
but you do
so i show ya
it ain't pretty here now
but it will be
one day i promise
when the sun rays are honest
i chip away at the tint on the windows
stain in the glass
it's a pain in the ass
i scrape and i scratch
til my arms grow weary
meanwhile i warned you
not to stand near me
i think i built the fence a little late
the demons were already in
now they can't escape
i been toe to toe
with most of them though
as a whole they must perish
in order for me to grow
huddled in the gloomy little cracks
that they inhabit
they pass away the day
i deactivate my habits
each one gets buried in the backyard
in tiny little graves
marked only by a black scar
kindly watch your step
this silence isn't finished
being awkward yet
trophies lay in the basement to stay safe
today's mistakes
are in a lighted trophy case though
and i want you to know
only invited you cause
i ain't thought you would show
but i'll be damned
if you ain't grabbed my hand
and presented yourself
on the threshold of the heartland
you notice antique stores adorn the walls
they really not here
for decoration at all
i'll save them shits
from old relationships
and i'll swing em at you later
if you stay in the mix
don't you realize
nobody's really been inside here
since it was last drenched
in dry tears?
decorating was a senseless idea
cause only the
blind lonely prince
resides here
we dine here on a balanced diet
ego when it's loud
self_hatred when it's quiet
inside the castle
this is what the life is
sign here
after you read the fine print
it's not much
but all of it's yours
take great caution
if you want to explore
watch your head
when you open the doors
and always remember that
the choice was yours
and i want you to know
only invited you cause
i ain't thought you would show
but i'll be damned
if you ain't grabbed my hand
and presented yourself
on the threshold of the heartland

i LOVE these words
this song and this album have been a busstop anthem for me
thank you
i'm glad i have something else
to put my faith in
