Hornets Lyrics

You fired from a grassy knoll

I'd never see this one coming

Smiles are taking their toll 

Fascism just ain't funny

In a past life

I really thought I was dead

Cut the brake lines

And roll me off the edge

Do not pull me out of this wreck 

Just let the match burn 

I'm on a rotor driving straight into a hornets' nest

You said rhetorical, well you're going to hate me at my best

I just want to throw it all away

And bury my empathy in the yard

God knows there will be hell to pay

Your Catholic guilt has got you this far

Oh, you're wasting your time

Chasing demons

That won't relent

Now I'll take back what's mine

To circumvent

My looming dread

I saw you on the 7th floor

Shoot me when this gets funny

Shaken right to my core

"Hands up," they could be loving

Wrap me up

Don't resuscitate

Cause what the fuck am I without the ever-living shame

Do not exit this way

It's just a trap door

I'm on a rotor driving straight into a hornets' nest

You said rhetorical, well you're going to hate me at my best

Oh, you're wasting your time

Chasing demons

That won't relent

Now I'll take back what's mine

To circumvent

My looming dread

Skip down

From a burning house

You lit me up

And my brains fell out

Sleep now

In world renown

It's not enough

To fade it out
