[Verse 1]
We woke up to the sound of a familiar scene unfolding
In baths of battery acid sat obediently dissolving
You can keep your hollow smile and them holy relics you're holding
I just found a patch of sky to chew a hole in
And now the scent of sweet liberty clings to my faded denim
You stomp around this city like you're trying to cave it's head in
There's a warm silence muffling their unabated yelling
Now when they ask what I'm doing, I say "excelling"
What a spoonful of flavourless soup you've become:
Bunch of mudslingers led by a stale human crumb
Chest squashed squirming under a giant mutant thumb
The wall around you all looms like a huge toothless gum
I wrap my skull tightly in blankets of thick gristle and whistle through the acidic air, a diamond tip missile
I was a fuzzy eyed factory raver that sniffed dizzle
Face like a nondescript scribble
And clambered from that softly glowing wreckage as your coronated king
With corrugated skin, to stop them breaking in
Stop prodding at my face before I confiscate a limb
All your more compulsive habits got your pockets pale and thin
We are all dragged kicking through every gurgling hour
You spend them fattening into your suit and yearning for power
I wake up dappled in sun, a decaying earth to devour
These rare plants on my balcony, some random girl in my shower

[Hook]
Just that crooked blue moonlight up where I'm sitting
Cut from the chaos, comfortably missing
I'm out hogging the whole sky, from this rooftop
Cos we won't die for you lot
And it's a strange little lie you've been selling
Watched it evolving, found it compelling
I'm out hogging the whole sky, from this rooftop
Cos we won't die for you lot

[Verse 2]
Hey! I think there's someone under the rubble
They found me there, fingers in my ears up to the knuckle
The armageddon and I always made the loveliest couple
This layer of soot in my system, this comet dust in my double
Cool calm head hanging by its last thread
Half dead half asleep on a massage bed
In dingy little nightclubs getting our palms read
Futures uncertain, past carved out of hard lead
The discarded days behind us lay slaughtered
Life is but a fleeting moment you've managed to make awkward
We were flung face forward, you kept your face powdered
Glass bottom gutters gaze downward
The chemicals were pirouetting off the scales, we backflipped off the rails
Submerged in that humid air, bloated as a pod of whales
Our souls became strange beasts festering in foreign jails
Pockets full of coffin nails, steam rising off our tails
Yeah, there's no surprises left and that's the thing
Sat blinded by the fireworks, it has to sting
Someone let the blackness in, I emerged from my packaging
Floral shirt draped over jagged green cactus skin
They still couldn't believe what they were seeing
If they're losing their little minds there, what kinda state are we in?
I'm the thin film of beaten gold spread on every surface
Heated by the creeping sun and flattened by the weight of being

[Hook]
Just that crooked blue moonlight up where I'm sitting
Cut from the chaos, comfortably missing
I'm out hogging the whole sky, from this rooftop
Cos we won't die for you lot
And it's a strange little lie you've been selling
Watched it evolving, found it compelling
I'm out hogging the whole sky, from this rooftop
Cos we won't die for you lot..
