chefsdaughter418 I absolutely adore this track. The fast paced beat, the funky saxophones that come in throughout the song, the lyrics, and Nick’s voice make this song a genuine masterpiece. This song is one of my favorites at the moment, and i’m planning on buying the rest of Swords as well. Thanks, Nick, for making such an amazing song! :) Favorite track: Sideshow.

lyrics

Your word is paper thin
You told your children they could reach for the stars
Then fed them ritalin
And popped their futures into VCRs

Now they’re walking on the ocean floor thinking they can swim
Now they’re walking on the ocean floor thinking they can swim
As the earth swallows them
You convince yourself that they asked for it

Your ignorance must be bliss
But for everyone else it’s the worst
It’s living across from the circus
Running right into your fist
And I’m starting to think it’s on purpose
Believe it or not we deserve this
For sleeping at the sideshow

Your paper has no pen
You’d rather parrot your ambassador’s lines
And somehow stomach them
Maybe it’s easy when the crime scenes blocked by dollar signs

You go knocking on the devil’s door, he’s gonna let you in
You go knocking on the devil’s door, he’s gonna let you in
And now you live with him
Yet you’ve convinced yourself he doesn’t exist

(Chorus)

Your tent is caving in
You’d rather suffocate than claw your way out
So save the oxygen
Cover your nose and stick your foot in your mouth

Now you’re sweating as the seventh horn sounds inside your head
You’re sweating as the seventh horn sounds inside your head
Until you’re deaf to it
‘Cause you’ve convinced yourself it doesn’t exist

(Chorus)

Our teeth are pressed against the pavement
Your head is buried in the sand
You pledge allegiance to your placement
And I will never understand
Why we’re sleeping at the sideshow
