lyrics

you shut your mouth when you’re talking to me
I’m saying this conversationally
but I’m not fucking around

you close your eyes when you’re looking at me
there’s nothing here that I want you to see
so step back and stare at the ground

I hope it’s plain now that I mean business
you better pray you can get a witness

when every interaction
is just a big distraction
you’re telling me?
I can’t fake tolerance
when all these sycophants
just keep selling me

you plug your ears when you’re listening to me
I’m muttering barely audibly
so don’t act like you heard a sound

I’m reduced down to nervous twitches
a lot of scratch but that’s not what itches

for all the conversation
there’s little innovation
you got nothin’ on me
despite outward appearance
you’re static interference
stop beaming at me

you shut your mouth when you’re talking to me
I’m not fucking around

I hope it’s plain now that I mean business
pray you can get a witness

when every interaction
is just a big distraction
you’re telling me?
I can’t fake tolerance
when all these sycophants
keep selling me
and every conversation
is just an aggravation
just leave me be
no chance for integration
of all this information
you keep selling me

there’s too much information
it’s just an aggravation
just want to shut it out
just shut your fucking mouth
