Lyrics
Esophagus
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I know they're just words
But they are my anchor when I need one
I can't grasp the metaphysical
Yet my mind speaks in metaphors
I know that your body is six feet underground
(But somewhere your words
Leave and converge)
Operator, Operator, we've got a flat line on our hands
Call his family but not his sons, he never wants to speak to them
Money, money, it's all they ever fucking cared about
Cancer, cancer will take his life but I'll remember him
Trails of legacy for my mind to whimsically digest
I need someone to tell me rhetoric
To convince me that things are different
And I constantly chase my tail
And they spend their lifetime searching for rainbows
Operator, Operator, we've got a flat line on our hands
Call his family but not his sons, he never wants to speak to them
Money, money, it's all they ever fucking cared about
Cancer, cancer will take his life but I'll remember him
Every time I slip up, I think if you did, too
How could you do this to a child?
Who am I supposed to love?
Do I have to pick like cards in a deck?
Were we the cards in your hand?
Operator, Operator, we've got a flat line on our hands
Call his family but not his sons, he never wants to speak to them
Money, money, it's all they ever fucking cared about
Cancer, cancer will take his life but I'll remember him
I'll remember him (I'll remember him)
Chasing shadows everywhere
