lyrics

"We're holding you up by a silver string.
We're binding your hands with the garden hose.
We're weighing your feet with a heavy stone."
When everything is out of focus, it's just us: incredulous.
When everything is out of focus, it's just us, it's just... everybody.
Do away with this anger for an old familiar stranger. (You're just... so familiar.)
Because we're staring right up at the surface. It's just... ridiculous-ness.
When everything is out of focus, it's just us: incredulous.
When everything is out of focus, it's just us, it's just... everybody.
