Lyrics:
Feelings, flashcards
Fake knife, real ketchup
Cardboard, cutthroats
Cowboys of information

Pleasure-dot-loathing-dot-Huey-dot-Newton
It was a lonely, lonely winter

Fuck-less, pawn sharks
Toothless but got a big bark
Live children, blind psychics
Turned online assassins

So Hale-Bopp, Hail Mary
Hail Hagia Sophia
Oh, it was a lonely, lonely winter

Entombed in the shrine
Of zeros and ones, you know
You know
Oh, we fatherless features, you motherless creatures
You know

Oh, perpetual lying, always terribly frightening, you know
You know
Oh, you got the pop in the hiss
In the city of misfits, you know

Safe, safe, and safest
Faith for the faithless
Oh, dim, dim and dimmer
Sucker for sinners

I’m entombed in the shrine
Of zeros and ones, you know
You know
Oh, we fatherless features, you motherless creatures
You know

Oh, perpetual lying, always terribly frightening, you know
You know
You got the pop in the hiss
In the city of misfits

Oh, safe, safe, and safest
Faith for the faithless
