lyrics

after the pity party / I told everybody / I think all our dreams will come true / pockets growling empty / so I tossed them all my pennies / and my body mumbled what about you / said it's been getting kind of heavy / plus I think this should be plenty / just be frugal / I'm a friend to no fool / said I've grown past my twenties / and I'm going out to study / and the wilderness will pay all my dues / and if Heaven / was busy pleading / with the demons / would we even / find a reason / to believe in / someone bleeding / if they're disguising / every blessing / as a burden / well I'm guessing / that they're betting / on how long we'll keep bleeding / I was running from wild piggies / the likes of which I've not seen / and a woman swept the desert with a broom / and when she forced me in her body / I remembered everybody / and cried all their names to a tune / when I woke up I was salty / was a'floating down the salt sea / and some lepers on the beach called me a fool / as it turns out they were friendly / and when they spoke it was mighty lengthy / they said your buddies' dreams are gonna die when you do / and if heaven / was busy pleading / with the demons / would we even / find a reason / to believe in / someone bleeding / if they're disguising / every blessing / as a burden / well I'm guessing / that they're betting / on how long we'll keep bleeding / yeah / when I returned to the country / I had a promise / they had money / and the baptist offered his brand new pool / I hung out in the city / drinking something like a peach tea / and everybody swore to god they were cool / and they threw me all their pennies / didn't care for my stories / so I roared and told them man fuck you / so they threw me a pity party / and I yelled that it isn't funny / and I started a fight that I knew I'd lose / and if Heaven / was busy pleading / with the demons / would we even / find a reason / to believe in / someone bleeding / if they're disguising / every blessing / as a burden / well I'm guessing / that they're betting / on how long we'll keep bleeding / what a view from Mount Calvary / I can see past that greedy city / oh my god / I'd go anywhere for you / but everybody's laughing at me / and I'm throwing up that peach tea / it is through
