[Verse 1]
All our friends have sponsors
In the hope to attract a national brand
Sum your values up on a postcard
Hide the long words under stamps

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I’m praying for wisdom – a better physician
While softly blaspheming in the brace position
And every professional – checking the sensible
Barely detectable, flawed by a scoundrel’s design

[Chorus]
And I fall – I tend to fall sometimes
And I’m tall – But I can’t access heaven if I tried
No, I won’t get to heaven in this life

[Verse 2]
I could lie awake, oh God how I used to lie awake
And listen to repetition
In my dreams I’m chased, well at least when I dream then
Not since my carbon emissions

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I’ve taken to listless, I’ve been preconditioned
To misdiagnosing myself to remission
We hunt down this villain, condemned to petition
Worn down by attrition and flawed by a scoundrel’s design

[Chorus]
And I fall – I tend to fall sometimes
And I’m tall – But I can’t access heaven if I tried
No, I won’t get to heaven in this life

[Bridge]
So what’s it even mean to be
Accepted by the scene and judge your

Worth in magazines and lend your
Life to ketamine
And I could see the woods if not for
All these fu*king trees and we’re so
Haunted by a cure that’s for a
Separate disease
He likes a spark that raises dimes and have no
Threat he stays inside there’s no more
Meaning to the highs there’s only
Viewing black blocks, built to watch it burn

I’m not sure if it’s purpose anymore
But I know this, despite my wish
Scoundrels are forever
