lyrics

I am a hatchet
It was probably tragic
When we could no longer discern who got maimed

Looked at all facets
We lost all the magic
Even on another path results are the same

If everything’s on fire then we’re probably in hell
I’m probably a liar if I said all is well
Let’s mute the town crier and blind all the tells

I am a pickax
It’s so hard to relax
When you come to find that twenty-one was plenty

Watch how they react
They count all of the whacks
How could I even begin to stop at twenty?



If everything’s on fire then we’re probably in hell
I’m probably a liar if I said all is well
Let’s light all of the pyres before the final bell

If everything’s on fire then we’re probably in hell
I’m probably a liar if I said all is well
Let’s mute the town crier and blind all the tells
Let’s light all of the pyres before the final bell
