lyrics

Secret Weapons

I want to go to sleep without the anesthesia, that’s crazy I know when it’s silence I crave, forgive the mess and please ignore the horse tranquillizers, it’s just a phase I’m told, you know we’ve all been there. You handed me a note on the Future of Extinctions, the spelling was vile and the grammar was poor.

I caught you on the phone when you thought you were alone and I saw you reaching for your secret weapon, even in a crowd, when you know you weren’t allowed, I saw you pulling out your secret weapon.

Secret weapons

Homeopathy is just an idiot’s wet dream, your vaccination fears are from poorly dressed lies, your inspirational quotes make me want to kill you but to be quite frank I just don’t have the time. Maybe I should just turn my back on you as if that’s going to solve anything at all.

Across a busy room I feel a sense of doom as I see you reaching for your secret weapon, in polite company you get down your eyes and brandish for all your secret weapon.

I just want to close my eyes and cherish the silence, when I think of your face I can only think of violence.

Found myself alone with my favourite megaphone ranting hard to right those wrongs (Rhyming with my favourite songs)
A crowd began to swell and as far as I could tell it was an apathy parade
(Surprised they even got those numbers)
I began to get bored and so I left the hordes in their tacit harmony (Fearful of their secret weapons)
I could say job done, but I think the masses won this time (Looking out for secret weapons)
I want to go to sleep without the anesthesia, that’s crazy I know so I’m just going to say The End.
