lyrics

dirty white tunnels
tired people
green letters

they died long ago
golden halo 
rats, friends 

find her keep her 
fine asses 
crack and oil 

sweat, incense 
torches, candles 
attention or lust 

I lost my mind 
I have no answers
I just keep sitting here
right where you can see me
even though
you're looking at the girls 
looking at the girls 

I lost my mind 
I just keep screaming 
I couldn't keep her 
you have to see me
even though you’re looking
looking at the girls 
looking at the girls 
looking at the girls 


cops in kippahs 
ancient temples 
see a ghost 

death came also 
by sin, a rose 
say hello 

snakes, singing
I'm Orlando 
an Indian, a Coke 

outside, dark cold 
down here, too warm 
waste and bones 

don't judge the ones you love the most
don't spurn the slave to save the host
don’t curse the bug beneath your shoe
it could be me I could be you

I walked around my corner
walked underneath the stairs
pile of wet glistening trash
hulking beside me
rats dashing back and forth across my path
pretended like they were my friends
as if I would ever

I lost my mind
I have no answers
I just keep sitting here
right where you can see me
even though you’re looking
looking at the girls
looking at the girls

I lost my mind
I have no answers
I just keep screaming
I couldn’t keep her
even though you’re looking
looking at the girls
looking at the girls
