lyrics

glory to god and the drunks on his stoop
i just wave when i pass, we'll both wait for good news
im not out of my mind but it's easy to lose
all the the best lies began "let me tell you the whole truth"

throw your heart in the ocean and pray that you're not on your own
hell if i weren't so scared of the depth then i'd sink like a stone

art is dead, hey lets get drunk tonight
'cause we all see beauty best with second sight
and lets go to war so we don't die like pigs
never questioning what heaven is

i come home to the moon but make eyes at the sun
while our warriors fuck peace but make love to their guns
so the love of my life can assign me a son
and i'll teach him to love, not to kill, and to buy one

shoot the stars, sing electric, and cheers to the ones who are gone
and don't you dare try to immortalize me in a song

art is dead, hey lets get drunk tonight
'cause we all feel ruined best by the moonlight
and lets dress the pavement up with our shadows
cause its Halloween and you best feel like a ghost

i can't sing like the swallow or paint like van gogh
take my voice, cause it sounds like somebody you know
i've abandoned my heart and walked into the woods
there's a search party somewhere, but i want the wolves
