Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a vulture perching right off screen And it's bitter and whispers chaotic things And the weeps turn quick into bullying It's so easy to see, everyone can agree, stop listening [Chorus] I know you've heard it before But then it wasn't enough You don't wanna be held back from the substitution I know you've seen this before And now enough is too much You don't wanna be set back when the substitution comes I'm sorry [Verse 2] You're a marionette in the center of The twisting strings coming from above It may seem too deep to recover from It's so easy to see, everyone can agree, just let it go [Chorus] I know you've heard it before But then it wasn't enough You don't wanna be held back from the substitution I know you've seen this before And now enough is too much You don't wanna be set back when the substitution comes I'm sorry I'm sorry [Bridge] When the voices start spinning, just be aware I have brought enough stones for us to share That one's grinning, that one's burning, aim for the throat Let 'em choke on the stones that we are to throw [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] It's the great downfall The big overthrow If you shoot them down It'll make you soar [Verse 3] When reactions turn into hurricanes And the middle ground seems a little tame Whether full or empty, it's all the same It's so easy to see, everyone can agree, you're not to blame [Chorus] I know you've heard it before But then it wasn't enough You don't wanna be held back from the substitution I know you've seen this before But now enough is too much You don't wanna be set back when the substitution comes I'm sorry
