Sheepcounting

lyrics

The world times you.
The girl finds you.
You've served your time.
You're a changed man.
This time will be different, I swear it, I swear it.
The suspense is killing, can't bear it, can't bear it.

The sleeping pills.
The hourglass fills.
You've spent your time.
You're a spent man.
This time will be different, I promise, I promise.
You've got take your shot, I won't miss, I won't miss.

Look at you now, lying to yourself,
binding her to you with promises.
Look at you now, head so far up,
remembering all of her promises.

She does not care.
She ties knots there.
You believe time.
You believe change.
This time will be different, I guarantee, I guarantee.
I'll dot your brown eyes, and cross your t's, cross, you tease.

repeat chorus

Shadows four,
cross cut me.
Open me up,
and let them out.
Planet core,
swallow me.
Take me instead,
and let them out.
