I'm on a need to know basis,
need some friends, some familiar faces,
but autumn scares me away, it scares me away.
Tables turned now,
jk.
Don't know what it's doing or if it's here to stay.
Autumn's drifting away, it's drifting away.
Scientists know more than they say.
There is life on other planets, they're just keeping us away,
quarantining our thoughts, and stunting our minds.
There's more to be known, but they keep it confined.
And I know you hide things behind your concrete walls.
You say I'm digging too deep.
Well, I don't think so.
You're lying through your teeth.
Well, that's quite bold.
You say my thoughts have consumed me,
as if I don't know.
Your lies, your eyes
cut me open.
Scars to fill the space you make
every time you open up your mouth.
I won't hear you
when you try to
make me forget the way you played that game.
Don't you dare blame this on me.
Government's another clever shame.
Deaths of Kennedy and Lincoln were all part of the plan.
(Your words won't trick me again.)
So, you think you're fucking clever?
Spinning webs, bet you can't keep it up forever.
I know your game, I'll play it better.
(Quarantining our thoughts and stunting our minds.
There's more to be known, but they keep it confined.)
I'm on a need to know basis,
need some friends, some familiar faces,
but autumn scares me away, it scares me away.
Tables turned now,
jk.
Don't know what it's doing and if it's here to stay.
Autumn's drifting away, it's drifting away.
Scientists know more than they say.
There is life on other planets, they're just keeping us away.
And I know you hide things behind your concrete walls.
You say I'm digging too deep.
Well, I don't think so.
You're lying through your teeth.
Well, that's quite bold.
You say my thoughts have consumed me,
as if I don't know.
Your lies, your eyes
cut me open.
Scars to fill the space you make
every time you open up your mouth.
I won't hear you
when you try to
make me forget the way you played that game.
Don't you dare blame this on me.
