Lyrics[edit]

    "And all our yesterdays have lighted fools 
    The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
    Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
    That struts and frets his hour upon the stage 
    And then is heard no more. It is a tale 
    Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, 
    Signifying nothing."
    - William Shakespeare



    Stare into my Kodak Rome
    Jack-hammer ice eyes
    I never thought you'd see 
    The asphalt crack, crack, crack 
    Like black eggshell



    Don't ever say I never warned 
    You from the start
    Don't ever say I never warned 
    You from the start
    You're not a shovel 
    And I'm not your dirt



    Is there any way to unswallow 
    My pride
    Can I fuck myself down?
    Why die, 
    when you can kill the father?
    Dad is missing an 'e'



    No Macbeth 
    Confessed Oedipus, 
    No longer present tense
    No Macbeth 
    Confessed Oedipus 
    No longer present tense



    No no no no no reason
    No no no no no reason
    No no no no no reason



    High and overneath
    High and overneath



    I won’t regret 
    Letting you live 
    Even if you forgot 
    What you never 
    Saved me from.
    So I say 'whatever' 
    Or fornever



    For for for for for fornever
    For for for for for fornever
    Or for for for for fornever
    'Whatever'



    The Rape of Persephone 
    Was choreographed by all the wrong Greeks
    The Rape of Persephone 
    Was a marketing scheme
    Rape rape rape per so phony
    Rape rape rape per so phony
    Rape rape rape per so phony
    Rape rape rape per so phony



    High and overneath
    High and overneath



    Overneath 
    Overneath 
    Overblown 
    Unbeloved
    Cannot be low
    Overneath 
    Overneath 
    Overblown 
    Unbeloved
    Cannot be low



    From the top of my lungs 
    to the bottom of my heart 
    I scream
    At the chasm in between 
    And the path of misery
    From the top of my lungs 
    to the bottom of my heart 
    I scream
    At the chasm in between 
    And the path of misery



    High and overneath
    High and overneath



    No no no no no reason
    No no no no no reason
    No no no no no reason
