Thorns Around Your Head Lyrics

Don't get sentimental

About when you were successful

You didn't really ever have much success

You were just young kinda knew how to fuck kinda knew how to dress

The funny thing that you learned while

Out on your little exile

Is nobody ever asked you to leave

You were just hearing friends in the static and the shame and the Codeine

I hope you still go to meetings

Only talk numbers in person

And don't think too much about the safety net

It's getting harder to find a bed at Solutions and Cumberland

I hope you still have some trust in whatever you trusted

And you find something true in what they said

And I hope that somebody else is wrapping thorns around your head

Thorns around your head

You can keep all the profits

But you'll have to come get it

We're all stuck in our jewelry at home

You want us to believe your the savior come sit on your throne

No there's no water to walk on without petroleum rainbows

No festering limbs to reattach at the elbows

The invitations said bring your own miracles

And come prepared to atone

If you still know the number

I'll get you down there tonight

We'll sit in the back far from the choir and the stage lights

And pray that Saint John's not in any mood to fight

I hope you still have some trust in whatever you trusted

I hope they bring you some comfort at the end

And that you'll be the only one wrapping the thorns around your head

Thorns around your head
