lyrics

This is an extravagant mess
You sucked the words right out of my chest
The planets align but she's used to fucking guys
So I guess I’ll just get over it

There’s an elephant inside my head
Tended to be easily led
Stop posting memes and start reading leaves
And I guess I’ll just genuflect

Working up to genuflect

You stripped away my cheap affect
Like taking my last cigarette
Shed your crystals and stones and start shaking bones
And I guess I’ll just get over it

There’s hair on your glamorous legs
Darkness on your breath
Stop leaving on read and start sowing seeds
So I guess I’ll just genuflect

This is an extravagant mess
You sucked the words right out of my chest
The clouds come in as if to welcome sin
So I guess I’ll just get over it

There’s an elephant inside my head
Tended to be easily led
Alone at home with serotonin syndrome
And I guess I’ll just genuflect
