Lyrics:Outside Brain

This is an open letter To explain myself to the finer folk To uphold my kind to the higher minds One refrain: outside brain Shook by the stares, I left too soon Lost the bet, can’t read the room The edges of the curtains glare in the stagnant air From a mineshaft to a crawlspace Across a bed of nails and broken glass From a jump scare to a catwalk On a tightrope over burning ash Against the grain: outside brain I called up the trophy store Asked what things were going for Said I didn’t qualify If I left my name they’d try To write an open letter To explain myself to the finer folks To uphold my kind to the higher minds What remains: outside brain The panic of a blown-out fuse I can’t take much more bad news Sitting in this busted chair Headstrong and unprepared From a mineshaft to a crawlspace Across a bed of nails and broken glass From a jump scare to a catwalk On a tightrope over burning ash Against the grain: outside brain |
