lyrics

The first rain of the goddamn season .
We're better off picking termites
from the back of all those wooden kings
that brought you this addiction .
The past year had a tendency to kill
off every chance we had to
fill our knapsacks , pack ,
and break the back
of that old mountain road .
But a chance encounter
led us to wonder :
' What lives to cater to another's innocence ? '
Another flounder
beneath the water
that lifts its fins to prove
the wind will carry whim .
So , we set off on the road today
towards sickly castles
that decay when wardens stay
above the ground /
neglect their former masters .
until one had dropped that sinking bridge
that carried us from here
to pigeon-covered parks
and loathsome landmarks ,
we were caught off guard .
Shut up , you last chance .
I couldn't pass you by .
No telling where I'll end up ,
given I don't die
within these next days
from telling stories ;
the lies that shape my case .
Deported , they await .
