"Straight Jacket Fitting" lyrics

"Straight Jacket Fitting"

Come for a fitting way of life
It's all the rage, enslaved in style
Come for a fitting way of life
Straight jacket fitting a little too tight

Hold me close, I'm confused
I don't wanna go out
I told myself, "You can do this"
I'm having my doubts
The old world melts like a candle a-flickering out

What can you do?
We're all alone in times new Roman, no allegiance
Chasing your wish over the cliff
If you insist on daydreaming
Wake up, we need you
No more daydreaming
Don't fall asleep now

How is the fitting way of life?
Boa constricting a little too tight

Friends close, enemies closer
Lend me your ear
I say safety's an illusion
That's why it disappear
Infiltrators, saboteurs
Affix your blades and steel your nerves
Maraud the façade 'cause the children want answers
Corrode from the inside like a good type of cancer
Oh, piss on the clergy, the new age heathens
The old guard, avant-garde, technolojesus
The hand-made jury, cage-free corporate raiders
Patriotic, probiotic, deletist, eracist
The world, yeah, she don't need saving
'Cept from you and me and our misbehaving

To face down your demons, you've got to free them
To seize all your demons, Carpe demon
To face down your demons, you've got to free them
To seize all your demons, Carpe demon...

The look in your eyes says, "I love you"
And, oh, I love you too...

Hold me close, I'm confused
I don't wanna go out
I told myself, "You can do this"
I'm having my doubts
The old world melts like a candle a-flickering out
Still so much to lose and I've already lost
So much

What can you do?
We're all alone in times new Roman, no allegiance
Chasing your wish over the cliff
Oh, I insist on daydreaming
What can you say?
Enjoy the buffet in times new Roman or it's treason
What you expect?
I'm so goddamn sick of this place
Bring on the healing
Go on and heal me
Bring on the healing
Good dogs lay down

Come for a fitting way of life
It's all the rage, enslaved in style
Come for a fitting way of life
Straight jacket fitting a little too tight
