Snakes & Ladders

As it starts I begin to open fire

How much do I have to overlap the lines

'Cause I've grown to understand you're resigned

I want to sit and wait for it all to align, no

But you don't depend on me like I do, and I do

And you don't depend on me like I do, and I do

And you bite me, my two-tooth wounds aside me

Don't mind me, you'll find me head-to-toe in bright green

So Armani, I'm magnifique

And finally I've been givin' in, so lay your cards down

Rather give it up if I don't know how

How'd you feel so respected, majestic?

I'm objecting to things that I go off and bite into

Selecting the pails I'll be pouring your tears into

Praying to God it turns out that it wasn't true

'Cause it's so consuming, the time that they're losing

As I'm just a-wasting, so wasted

Not breathing, just writhing to

'Cause you don't depend on me like I, I do

But you will depend on me like I, I do

Tonight, I've been away, I've been starting to trace

Between what is here now and what we could feel

And being endlessly, and before we know it

It feels like the real thing that we treasure

But it feels like we're stuck in the Everglades

Trying to run through mud, but we get nowhere

Like we're searching across the savannah

To fill our cavities up with silver grains

And it feels like we're falling to Saturn

Just a milky star in an empty space

And it looks like we'll never come down

All the green clouds fucked up the sky

But now nothing can smash our glass eyes

Silicon rich, cash in your checks

Going back on the Jubilee line

Jupiter, Mercury, so we rot away

Where is our power, power, power?

Give me something real, something evergreen, something unmundane

Where is our power, power, power?

Give me something sweet, something so pristine, something super strange

And it feels like we've fallen in love with it

Well of course we have, have you lost yourself?
