lyrics

It's your psychological Sisyphos
Don't get your heartbreak on me
You loved as well as I could in this
It was enough to be free, ah
Hey

Can you breathe
Through all that masking
I'm fixing up to be

You're fixing up to be Icarus
Don't fall back into the sea
You loved as well as you could in this
Just not enough to be free, ah
Hey

You're bending over to a broken disease
Can you grieve
Through all that grasping

I’m shifting round in my seat
Well are you waiting for me
Was it the advent of wheat
This sempiternal disease

I'm fixing up to be irate
Didn't fit right on my knees
Hey

You're bending over to a broken disease
Can you breathe
Through all that masking

At night you knock on my door
You’ve come to settle the score
Reiterate that I’m right
I wake up hugging the floor
Was it the advent of wheat
Was it the advent of wheat
Was it the way that I lied
Oh, was it the advent of wheat

It's your psychological Sisyphos
You're fixing up to be Icarus
It's your psychological Sisyphos
Oh I'm fixing up to be
I'm fixing up to be irate
Didn't fit right on my knees
Oh

You're bending over to a broken disease
Can you breathe
