lyrics

expected to spirit away, it's a given
it wasn't apparently
so don't take it so lightly
just remember to fall asleep

on a geological scale it's the smallest flash
how unflattering
as you scramble to lay down apart from me
can't transfigure my apathy

i can picture you playing the field, surrounded by lovers
what a party
while i tried to spin gold from my flesh
yeah i was an arrow, but not really circumspect

all the detours were doubled back, slung across sisters & brothers
but not gracefully
fielding cold calls & testing the temperament
escape in the night with a perfect 10 of a miscreant

expected to spirit away, it's a given
it wasn't apparently
so don't take it so lightly
just remember to fall asleep
