lyrics

listen here we're gonna make things right
drive home in the dead of the night
and i know
you've found me out, but how?
look sharp for medicine
i'm oh so innocent
our morning guide is clearly ill
right now
pan down to forest roads
potential horoscopes
and open plots so we can
flood this whole place out
i'll make a mean attempt
you'll say you're sorry then
now you're just
now you're just flailing on the ground

the horrors we've been told
laced with shining gold
we hide until they go
i guess they'll never know
the horrors we've been told
laced with shining gold
we hide until they go
i guess they'll never know

glorify the wrong from right
my name drawn up in lights
i guess this goes to show
what makes it through this town
glide boy past everglades
i'll take whatever pays
and throw your morals swiftly out
the darkness fills it in
so we drew back a bit
alarm clocks chiming in
"it's too late now"
a business suit and tie
a briefcase full of lies
they must have
they must have found us out somehow
found us out somehow

the horrors we've been told
laced with shining gold
we hide until they go
i guess they'll never know
the horrors we've been told
laced with shining gold
we hide until they go
i guess they'll never know
