earthworms

You rip them into pieces but earthworms live and grow
You break their heart with ease ‘cause you know that they have more

Regenerated, but all this time you’ve suffocated
Forgetting how to live for no one but yourself, you hate it
The windows let in too much light for just two eyes
Put curtains pertinently over anything that’s hurting
Step back, gotta listen to the warning signs
But they’re just palimpsests
Painted over, pre-pre-pre-pre-pretending
Invigorated by all the pain and all the hatred
Better kill me now ‘cause
I’ll have a lot to say when I’m famous

You rip them into pieces but earthworms live and grow
You break their heart with ease ‘cause you know that they have more
Ah, Ah, you won’t make it alive

Mean little boys who never grow up
Cut up all the little earthworms, call it love, bullshit
‘Cause when they squint their eyes at dimming lights
You pull a Charles Boyer
Fight ’til you destroy their sense of what is right
Young minds molded into whatever makes you feel you're unconfined
And you can’t tell that they’re maligned
You go toward the storm blind
Filthy fingers cover trusting eyes
You won’t make it alive

You rip them into pieces but earthworms live and grow
You break their heart with ease ‘cause you know that they have more
Ah, Ah, you won’t make it alive

Ah, Ah, you won’t make it alive
Ah, Ah, you won’t make it alive

You rip them into pieces but earthworms live and grow
You break their heart with ease ‘cause you know that they have more
You rip them into pieces but earthworms live and grow
(Ah, Ah, you won’t make it alive)
You break their heart with ease ‘cause
(Ah, Ah)
You won’t make it alive
