Stacked Crooked

I counted on my private out to mount
Trusted it all along
But now I'm on my way
We left the house
Your fingers in my mouth
Stacked crooked all along but now I'm on my way
The folks left me the red light of the hours
I tried to imagine it, I couldn't imagine it
The vantage falling from the ivory tower
I tried to imagine it, I couldn't imagine it
You clicked your tops
Your cryptic crossword locks
You nearly abandoned thoughts and now it's hard to say
Why will it wait
In smoke and mirror states
Stacked crooked all along but now I'm on my way
The force of the red light of the hours
I tried to imagine it, I couldn't imagine it
The vantage falling from the ivory tower
I tried to imagine it, I couldn't imagine it
Do not, do not deny me
Deny my right to feel
Do not, do not deny me
My Achilles heel
Do not, do not deny my
Attention to detail
Do not, do not deny me
The clicking of the heels
