lyrics

Just words in scary stories
The sound is so distorted, it’s not even real
Just maps of territories
History is allegory, the story is sealed

What’s a fair price for a cup of coffee?
It starts fine, then it crosses a line
This presentation holds the weight of your name
What’s the word for a copy of a copy
Hard lines, there’s no room to imply
It’s not a lie, but the truth is empty all the same
What’s the word for a copy of a copy with no original to find?
It feels fine till it crosses the line, it’s up to you to decide when you’ve seen enough

Of words in scary stories
The sound is so distorted, it’s not even real
Just maps of territories
History is allegory, the story is sealed
A glorious deal

Set aside what youre trying to find by bringing monsters to life and defeating them
The first time that it entered your mind that no one’s feeding you lies, you’re just eating them, you’re just eating them

We pay the price for bring creatures of habit
Turn lies into carnival rides
Twist you in circles till you’re sick from the spin
Repeat the process till it’s automatic
Go blind to the scales in your eyes
You spill your guts and then you ride it again
Whats the price of a cup of coffee?
Exactly what you had in mind
Turn lies into carnival rides, it’s up to you to decide when you’ve seen enough

Of words in scary stories
The sound is so distorted, it’s not even real
Just maps of territories
History is allegory, the story is sealed
A glorious deal

Set aside what your trying to find by bringing monsters to life and defeating them
The first time that it entered your mind that no one’s feeding you lies, you’re just eating them, you’re just eating them

What has been done is what will be done
Generations gone as soon as the next one comes
Forgotten past we all become
Fill up the seas, the rivers and streams still run
Chase after wind, spin around the sun
What has been done will be done

What’s a fair price for a cup of coffee
Everything is a copy of a copy

Just words in scary stories
