Sleeping Lessons Lyrics - Wincing The Night Away - The Shins

Go without 'til the need seeps in 

You low animal, collect your novel petals for the stem 

And glow, glow, melt and flow, eviscerate your fragile frame 

Spill it out on the ragged floor, a thousand different versions of yourself 

And if the old guard still offend 

They've got nothing left on which you depend 

So enlist every ounce of your bright blood and off with their heads 

Jump from the hook, you're not obliged to swallow anything you despise 

See, those unrepenting buzzards want your life 

And they got no right 

As sure as you have eyes 

They've got no right 

Just put yourself in my new shoes and see that I do what I do 

Because the old guard still offends (their pudgy hearts and slimy hands) 

They've got nothing left on which we depend 

So enlist every ounce of your bright blood and off with their heads 

Jump from the hook, you're not obliged to swallow anything you despise
