lyrics

it’s been a bleak and lonely winter And I just don’t know what’s gotten into me. It feels like everything is canted, Just at an angle that I can’t see. The whispering is growing grating And I don’t KNOW IF I KNOW what the voices are saying, BUT I know it can’t be good. It can’t be good, And everyone says I’m not myself. But how can that be? Who’s in here with me?

He talks a big game In words that leave no room for doubt; He’s got a big name Dredging up dread in my mouth. He knows all the moves, and what to do, all that I’m talking about. So how do I go about casting him out? The caddy pulls up in slow motion, Blinding and boasting an otherworldly gleam. His caring face comes out so practiced, mouth sewn tight with a crooked seam. His golden glow’s already grating And I want to tell him, but I’m too weak When every word comes out a little backwards And in a language that I can’t speak. And everyone says he’s heaven sent, But how can that be? Just who is he?

He talks a big game In words that leave no room for doubt. He’s got a big name Highlighted in red in his pouch; He knows all the moves, but that’s not what I’m talking about. What I wanna know about’s how will he go about casting you out?

Paint a T on my forehead, a tip and a sip of this Wizard oil will make you smile from the inside out, Assail you, demons, are you wrapped in hysteria; HAS that mousy vessel failed you? Temptation by oppression? If you’re addled and heckled and riddled with worms? Or sedition, sedation, ambition, elation? I’ll slay you and deliver you from evil within.

A somewhat impotent encounter; guess his tools could use a little sanding? Didn’t have much faith to founder; The creature and me have an understanding, And he says change escapes me. I cling tightly To the form that shapes me. We talk a big game In words that leave no room for doubt. We’ve got a big name Hyphenated for clout. He knows all the moves, and what to do, and all that I’m talking about. So why would I go about casting him out?
