Tachycardia (Full Band)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] It's a mass grave, a dollar-fifty resting place On the north face, there's a rope I've gotta climb I'm a stone's throw from everyone I love and know But I can't show up looking like I do [Verse 2] In an old suit, my hair is slicked up back, nice and smooth In a courtroom, sweat rollin' down my back It's a bad dream, I have it seven times a week No, it was not me, but I'm the one who has to die [Verse 3] Needs a cold draw to slow his tachycardia In a dark bar, this world just melts away And he feels fine if he could just lose track of time It's a good sign when he can't stay awake [Verse 4] On a slow day, the rain against the windowpane Of the café, she spills the coffee grounds And the same thought hits her like a cinderblock Life's an odd job that she don't got the nerve to quit [Verse 5] Now it's just there, at the bottom of those spiral stairs It's the World's Fair, the future's on display In the dark night, they turned on the electric lights And the crowd cried out, everyone looked so amazed
