lyrics

My dearest constituents,
We are gathered here in this room
To sew each other’s stitches and cauterize our wounds
Mrs. Schell taught me in Home Economics back in high school
We wanna keep the stitches tight the blood loss is substantial

life has kicked the poetry out of my teeth
I no longer have the tongue for flowers or pretty things
Razor blades. Obituaries. Bullet proof vests.
I’m down here on my knees trying to scrape up what’s left

If you have something funny to say go on and write it down
If you wanna wear the big shoes
You have to learn to play the clown
My heels squeak when I walk
My bow tie spins when I talk
Heavy is the balloon animal crown

(chorus)
That was where we were
This is where we’re going

This is me striking a match
This is me setting fire to a way of life that has pinned us all against one another
In the never ending pursuit of MORE
We are not problems to be solved

I stand here before you bright eyed and brand new
So run and tell the king we’ll no longer be paying to play the games
for the chance to win tickets
Trading those tickets for small plastic prizes

Our time here on earth is the only thing that’s holy
And now I’m spitting that Christian language out of my mouth
I’ve dabbled in hallelujahs
Sung my share of amens
We can’t build a peaceful future with the language of angry men
My dearest constituents
We are gathered here in this room
To sew each other’s stitches
And cauterize our wounds

My dearest constituents
