Cut the cord that opens up my jaw
As all these words run, I'm out of breath from kicking cans at God
And I said, Jesus Christ
The nights are much too long
I'm tired of throwing bodies at the moon[1]
I’m sure I will be caught soon
And then I had this dream I was fast as lightning
Flying in a suitcase over these islands
But this time I did, I'm not waking up[2]
Get it right this time
I’m throwing lassos at the sky
Catching moments as big as my eyes[3]
Intoxicating like, like we’re on a gold mine
Get it right this time
I'm throwing islands at your eyes[4]
That’s right you got me practicing lies[5]
Intoxicating like, like we’re on a gold mine
Cut the curtains fall around my head
Yesterday is dead, I can’t erase the stupid things I did[6]
And I said Jesus Christ
The nights are much too strong
I’m tired of throwing bottles at the sun[7]
I’m sure we won’t be here long
And then I had this dream I was fast as lightning
Flying in a suitcase over these islands
But this time I did, I’m not waking up
Get it right this time
I'm throwing lassos at the sky
Catching moments as big as my eyes
Intoxicating like, like we’re on a gold mine
Get it right this time
I'm throwing islands at your eyes
That’s right you got me practicing lies
Intoxicating like
And maybe I’ve been thinking about the molecules I’ve been breathing[8]
And now my skin’s so soft it breaks with every breath I’m taking[9]
And now my blood is full of airplanes and they’re flying me away[10]
From all these God damn dirt bag neighborhoods
Saying don’t look back, don’t you dare look back at me
Alright this time
We’re throwing models at the sun[11]
Won’t be here for too long
Intoxicating like, intoxicating
Get it right this time
I’m throwing islands at your eyes
That’s right you got me practicing lies
Intoxicating like, like, like
Get it right this time
I’m throwing lassos at the sky
Catching moments as big as my eyes
Intoxicating like
Don’t look back, don’t you dare look back now
Get it right this time
I’m throwing islands at your eyes
That’s right you got me practicing lies
Intoxicating like, like we're on a gold mine
