White suit, tie and
Dressed for guests but none arrived
I feel so lonely, wish to cry
But I don't want to stain my vest
Because my tears are red
And the sky is black
I came for glasses to smash
On conformalitist's backs
I couldn't take it no more
Split between two of my heads
I shot them both and somehow I still aint' dead
I say let's dance the parlor swing
I'm not delusional I'm okay
The only drink I had was lemonade
Don't call me a madman
That's something I can't stand
Truth, it's often misleading
I've come a long way
Through the deserts and the woods, the
Journey's left me parched
To drink of beverage that I should, but
Waters for the weary
And drink is for the flesh
I don't wanna drink your poison
Let me go it's for the best
Everybody here is smiling though their teeth
But I can tell nobody is really enjoying a thing
Out of all of these fakes
Out of all of their lies
I'm the only one having a good time
Please don't help me I'm fine
I don't need your heart or your knife
The stab wounds in my back have made a thicker spine
So if you don't mind I'll try and finalize my lines
Analyze my mind, for coming to an end tonight
I say let's dance the parlor swing
I want to feel
I can't anymore
I sold my empathy
At the self-improvement store
I want to cry for you
Has all my pity spent
Please let me feel something
Oh where has my mind went
No I cant feel a thing
Your last breath wouldn't matter to me
So let's dance the parlor swing
And forget about everything
I'll dance away my beams
Unshocked by death's swift sting
I'll dance the parlor swing
Please let me feel something
