The Bottom Level

preacher's kids learn to politic early

lyrics

I got a shell shocked brother
Makes me keep my heart in armor
And I wanna call my mother
But I think that it might harm her
If she knew what I know about you
I’ve been there and you know that it’s true
And I can hear

You tell em what they want to hear
Tell em what they want to hear
Tell em what they want to hear
You tell them what they wanted

Every avalanche is wasted
On a thousand blurry places
And you that you should face it
But you haven’t got the patience
To be true when it comes to you
I’ve been there and you that it’s true
And I can hear

You tell em what they want to hear
Tell em what they want to hear
Tell em what they want to hear
You tell them what they wanted

I could tell you secrets about living with the devil
In a mention underground on the very bottom level
I could show you rooms where I was covered up with stars
And handed out like candy by strangers in white cars

I’ve known alligators who could eat you while they’re laughing
I’ve been static I’ve been plastic I’ve been everything that happens
I could make you cry
I could pull it all apart
Without meaning anything I would stab you in your heart

I’ve seen every color when there wasn’t any light
I have drifted out beyond I’ve drifted then took flight
Walking on the water is my favorite metaphor
Like there really is no meaning or it’s all been done before
