lyrics

You wanted something, something to push
against with all your strength,
or maybe a wall to pass through
and leave a self-shaped hole.
You wanted words to wear like a cape,
bulletproof and magical, a uniform unlike
any other uniform.
So you could turn around and you could see the shape of
what it was that made that hole –

And you make it up on the spot, showing progress, showing progress,
and you make it up on the spot, fill the room with plastic words,
and you make it up on the spot, checking off the boxes on
another act, another act of swinging language like a bat.
Every translation hides the scene of a crime.

You wanted something, something to push, showing progress, showing progress, fill the room with plastic words and leave a self-shaped hole, and you make it up on the spot, push against with all your strength, bulletproof and magical, like a uniform.
