lyrics

So, taken where I part you
Together by the wire across the jaw and the fence
Let's bring it back into the room
See me soon before I leave
I see the river and Peter
Who I wish I got to know
Can you tell the boy by the teeth
And store his repeats inside a memory card slot?

Nah Nah, Nah Nah
Nah Nah, Nah Nah
Nah Nah, Nah Nah
Nah Nah, Nah Nah

Because I'm left alone
It makes me think of what I could do
Find answers to the problem in the medicine cupboard
Is this what I needed to prove
Options from CBT
Can be put on a screen print
As a path to promote?
Dictation sounds like children's screams
I miss the retina green
From properties in a black lung

And when my fright is gone
They pile in the playground
Left for dirt and fruit flies
File out death forms
With identical answers
To the Black Prince in bronze

Don't Act On What's In Your Head
Listen to reasoning
If compassion simplifies
Touch the floor you don't die
You will find me

Nah Nah, Nah Nah
Nah Nah, Nah Nah
Nah Nah, Nah Nah
Nah Nah, Nah Nah

Lack of remorse has the content to plaster
All the words you use to describe
Quid pro quo
Am I what you wanted?
You say go back where you come from

Don't Act On What's In Your Head
Listen to reasoning
We can play this game all night
Touch the floor you don't die
You will find me

Don't Act On What's In Your Head
Legs kick joke choking
But you're coping this time
You will find me
