Lyrics:
I've been waitin' for the day you'd come by my... hive
By this point, it's terminal, vestigial
A ways they've gone from this oubliette's dull chime
Miraculous, what managed to survive

Weren't you warned before that this hill just keeps rising
Oh, the view, saccharine, just so inviting
Surely someone, surely something would mottle itself for the chance
A spin of the wheel and a kick of the dice

Oh, but bending strings doesn't cut it anymore
This trail was paved by admonishment of course
Coy is how this game goes
Let's pretend that the time was well spent

Oh It went from gutter to drain
And I still the feel the same
Though the sparks criticized and
Swept this penniless well dry
Indeed it happened, you see
Let's just say it was greed
Too much fuel in the blaze
Cause the riverbed's too far down
In the dirt
All we learned
All we are
All the same

But It went from gutter to drain
And I still the feel the same
Though the sparks criticized and
Swept this penniless well dry
Indeed it happened, you see
Let's just say it was greed
Too much fuel in the blaze
Cause the riverbed's too far down
In the dirt
All we learned
All we are
All the same

But it went from gutter to drain
And I still the feel the same
Though the words belied and
Soaked up all the pride
Indeed it happened to me
Let's just agree it was greed
Too much fuel and a haze
Cause the riverbed was too far down
In the dirt
All the grime
All the scum
All the same
What a shame
What a shame

Breath it all in
The sparks aren't here yet
The sky hasn't fallen
And it won't my friend ah
Brisk and transparent, that's just how it goes
