lyrics

They sit up in ivory towers
And sink their claws in our lives
They think they know what’s best for us
It’s time to suffocate their lies

I just gave you away
Five revolutions around the sun
And not a thing to show for any single one

Did you think I would stay
Loyal to the place that kicked me down
And tied me to the truth stating aloud
That there’s no better play

Your beautiful beautiful hands choke me out
A wonderful tainting of what was talked about
I’m just a number, a dollar spent
You walk around like you’re Heaven sent

Whispered in my ear I was worthless
When I built the ground we stand on with my own two hands

What? Was it too much to spend on
The one person you must depend on
Saying sorry won’t mean anything when I’m gone
And your foundation crumbles

Your beautiful beautiful hands choke me out
A wonderful tainting of what was talked about
I’m just a number, a dollar spent
You walk around like you’re Heaven sent

They think they know what’s best for us
They never tried to earn our trust
They think they justified our worth
They think they know

Your beautiful beautiful hands
Choke me out
A wonderful painting of patience running out
So take your numbers, your dollars spent
And walk around like
Time’s up, no longer Heaven-sent
