No Ears

The lights were low enough, you guessed
You swapped your conscience with your fathers medication
Limped from Rome to Lawrenceville
And on the way wrote out a self-made declaration

And when you got to Pleasant Hill
You forced the traffic to erase your family demons
And made a pact with you and god
If you don't move I swear to you I'm gonna make ya

Do you need me?
Do you need me?
Do you need me?
Do you need me?

When the first officer arrived
It happened to be the high school bully of your brother
When you finally recognized
You felt some guilt that he had even let him touch you

Can you hear me? What's your name?
You could not speak just laid amazed at all the damage
And as the high school's letting out
All the kids are saying the same thing that they used to

It's an alien
It's an alien
It's an alien
It's an alien

The lights were low enough you guessed
Hospital food, and there's never enough medication
The doctor asks about your ears
You said your mom said you were made from a revelation

The revelation never scares
Your fear came from your drunken dad and a pair of scissors
Were you just finally letting go?
Did you want to take out all those people with you?

Didn't mean to
Didn't mean to
Didn't mean to
Didn't mean to
