Tension, its pulling harder on the sails
It’s not the wind that will prevail
Oh no its not, Cause it’s only getting better than this
Tension, It’s got you going off the rails
Decadent habits will prevail
Vlad’s got an army to impale
There’s no retreat
Cause it’s only getting better than this
Rotten, It’s like an overturned carcass
got you so desperate for catharsis
That’s what he said as he remarked it’s the best laid plans
And it’s only getting better, Only getting better, Only getting better
Even if you run around in circles today
You could be leaving contrails up there in the haze
suspending shards of ice away up there with the moon
Stretching out for miles getting lost in your room
Picture all the silver spinning trajectories
There’s no single purpose you’ve got nowhere to be
Even if you run around in circles today
You could be leaving contrails up there in the haze
But common sense is taunting how it’s supposed to be done
As public as your linen ruffled sheets in the sun
Wrinkled like the feeling that you’re losing a friend
Desperate for catharsis still you don’t make amends
Hereditary wills are getting hard to deceive
He’s already gone, is there a reason to grieve?
Recognize what’s best on your own
