about

First single from Quiet Please.

lyrics

My dreams are a brash multicolored burst
And if you are last then you cannot be first
My brain is a cesspool of bittersweet longing
Your handmaid is screaming, the girl you are wronging

Friend, do not hate me because I am leaving
Your tank is on empty, your mother is weeping
Your airplane is crashing, your body is seething
Everything's backwards, your thoughts are misleading

Your openness scares me, my act is retreating
To talk of your problems, my mouth is not needing
Bloody confuser, negotiator
Revel in evil and snap like a gator

Friend, do not hate me because I am leaving
Your tank is on empty, your mother is weeping
Your airplane is crashing, your body is seething
Everything's backwards, your thoughts are misleading

As you lay dying they come up and curse you
The devil has harmed you, the devil has hurt you
Your health is dissolving, darkness is creeping
And now I have gone and it bleeds me completely

Friend, do not hate me because I am leaving
Your tank is on empty, your mother is weeping
Your airplane is crashing, your body is seething
Everything's backwards, your thoughts are misleading

Friend, do not hate me because I am leaving
Your tank is on empty, your mother is weeping
Your airplane is crashing, your body is seething
Everything's backwards, your thoughts are misleading
