lyrics

Get up and look alive you moron
I'm about to turn the table
You might have ditched common sense for a couple of months
and now it hits you like a train car
right in front of your applauding nervous ticks
enjoy the clapping sounds

and going from red to green to blue
might be a perfect fit, a perfect fit for you

You're hardly in a state of being alive
hands cuffed, face-down in a squad car
solving crosswords about yourself on you forehead
scribbling random letters into blurry squares
I am the answer for every question i came up with
I'm every word on the grid except 14, across

I built a wall to keep you comfortable
but i never built a door
grab a hatchet and swing away
don't leave no tree behind
I know you well, I know you well
you feel alright on an open plain

and going from red to green to blue
might be a perfect fit, a perfect fit for you

You're hardly in a state of being alive
hands cuffed, face-down in a squad car
solving crosswords about yourself on you forehead
scribbling random letters into blurry squares
I am the answer for every question i came up with
I'm every word on the grid except 14, across

You see
it's a thin line between
fighting bravely and getting knocked out every time
and you're fine, you're fine
Get up and look alive
you're fine, you're fine
Get up and look alive
