lyrics

Here's to the paralysis.
Here's to hoping I'll never understand.
Curiosity kills, I'll wait it out in the shelter.
My silver lining outlived Certain Death,
now he'll have a chance to steal
the next time I get something wrong.

This monument you see is just rubble to me
but if you want to get down on one knee, feel free.

I am accustomed:
the doorman for the absurd.
My realm is a state of disarray but I find my way.

This monument you see is just rubble to me
but if you want to get down on one knee, feel free.
Who am I to judge? I've not a foot to stand.
I won't even budge; a traveller in quick-sand.

Send my love to the plans I had
to make plans to make something of myself.
The house always wins.

Even the sanctity of clauses A - Z
can't stop my hope from descending.
Six feet beyond headache, one inch from reset.
If there is no resolution where do I keep my resolve?

This monument you see is just rubble to me
but if you want to get down on one knee, feel free.
Who am I to judge? I've not a foot to stand.
I won't even budge; a traveller in quick-sand.

Send my love to the plans I had
to make plans to make something of myself.
The house always wins.

It’s better if this monument goes ignored.
The house always wins.
The foundation will say:
“The house always wins.”
