lyrics

Cover up my brother's secret
That chest is wide
It's less discrete here
I've yet to stand taller than pride

It's typical that I recede here
Make believe that I don't see shit
Can we open a window for once?

But I've been smothered in
A ten, ten mahogany
Border underneath the form

Mother how your eyes hold seas and
Anxiety's accompanying him
Wide awake from a kick in the head

"It's critical that we proceed here"
A battle fought before, defeated
Can we open a window for once?

But I've been smothered in
A ten, ten mahogany
Border underneath the form

And he's been swallowed in
A twelve, twelve anatomy
Heart beats to the sound of war

Can we open a window?
Let the wind guide our vessels.
Can we open a window?

But I've been smothered in
A ten, ten mahogany
Border underneath the form

And he's been swallowed in
A twelve, twelve anatomy
Heart beats to the sound of war
