about

Cover of Fives's "The Penthouse Penthouse" with original lyrics.

lyrics

One thousand vines, ensnared and tangled.
We're not a sentiment.
We're all our own worst enemies.
Am I allowed escape?
Am I allowed amnesty?
Can I ever truly be free?
Oh, beloved, how are we loved?
Oh, doctor, can we be safe?
I will name my son after a celebrity.
I will disarm the dragon and take the heart of God.
Landing: unsure.
Safe roads? No vacancy.
Will our water turn to wine or are we drinking down our mercy?
You're not alone, young sailor.
You're taking on too much water.
Just beg the flood to carry you.
Just beg release is close by.
You're not worthy of filling and emptying your lungs.
Give it back.
Give back what you stole.
Give God his breath back.
Give God her breath back.
We're not the first, but not the last, to eat a snake.
It tastes like gold.
The array of numbers.
The assembled mass.
I oppose. I impose. I implore you.
Don't let stone take the place of aid.
Don't let stone become you.
Seven inches farther to the right and you'd have lost your head.
But I bet your insurance would've covered it.
A watch made by God himself that slows down with fear.
The mechanism still works, but time does not.
