lyrics

Crush me asunder, I can’t keep my form

My glue gun is under repairs this morning


Nothing seems to last, not even my muse

But what is there to grasp when all hell breaks loose


With every inch of my being

With every inch of my being

With every inch I resist the urge to crawl out of my skin

Something has emerged, with a toothless grin, it turns, it turns


How can you tell facts from fiction

These days it sells to stretch and blur the lines


Fill our empty shells, we thrive on friction

We’ll eat anything, as long as it doesn’t change our minds


With every inch of my being

With every inch of my being

With every inch I resist the urge to crawl out of my skin

Something has emerged, something that will win if we turn, if we turn


Hope is a lost cause

If all you want is a nod and applause

Hope is a lost cause

If all you want is a nod and applause

Hope is a lost cause

If all you want is a nod and applause

If all you want is a nod and applause
