Lawyers

(album: Controversy Loves Company - 2005)

Chapter 1 takes place on empty canvases
And idle hands are silencing the oxygen
The clock keeps the beat
The sweat turns to beads
And the salt burns me alive
But these tears have all run dry

I haven't slept in days
The devil's just like cocaine
Gradually constant and permanently pain

Stop and breathe
It was just an awful dream
A nightmare. A night scare
Nothing to worry
Stop and breathe
It was just an awful dream
A nightmare. A night scare
Nothing to worry about

Chapter 3, the things that lawyers never tell

Chinese finger trap
Arms tied behind your back
And you wish that we'd lend a hand
But that wasn't in the contract
This is your fascination
Inflammable exaggeration
Signature signed in blood
But it's artwork that we love

I haven't slept in days
The devil's just like cocaine
Gradually constant and permanently pain

Stop and breathe
It was just an awful dream
A nightmare. A night scare
Nothing to worry
Stop and breathe
It was just an awful dream
A nightmare. A night scare
Nothing to worry about

Wrap your hands around this pen
I'll show you what it is to live
Wrap your hands around this pen
I'll show you what it is to live
Wrap your hands around this pen
I'll show you what it is to live
Wrap your hands around this pen
I'll show you what it is to live

Stop and breathe
It was just an awful dream
A nightmare. A night scare
Nothing to worry
Stop and breathe
It was just an awful dream
A nightmare. A night scare
Nothing to worry about
