Lyrics

Album version
[Chorus]

Oh, I know how to levitate up off my feet

And ever since the seventh grade I learned to fire-breathe

And though I feed on things that fell

You can learn to levitate with just a little help

Learn to levitate with just a little help


[Bridge]

Come down, come down

Cowards only come through when the hour's late

And everyone's asleep, mind you

Now show up, show up

I know I shouldn't say this

But a curse from you is all that I would need right now, man

Come down, come down

Cowards only come through when the hour's late

And everyone's asleep, mind you

Now show up, show up

I know I shouldn't say this

But a curse from you is all that I would need right now, man


[Verse]

Danger in the fabric of this thing I made

I probably shouldn't show you, but it's way too late

My heart is with you hiding, but my mind's not made

Now they know it like we both knew for some time I'd say

They're smirking at fresh blood, they're circling above

But this is not enough, yeah, this is not what you thought

No, no, we are not just graffiti on a passing train

I got back what I once bought back

In that slot, I won't need to replace

This culture is a poacher of overexposure, not today

Don't feed me to the vultures, I am a vulture who feeds on pain

Sleep in a well-lit room, don't let the shadow through

And sever all I knew, yeah, sever all

I thought I could depend on my weekends

On the freezing ground that I'm sleeping on

Please, keep me from, please keep me down from the ledges

Better test it, wooden wedges under doorways

Keep your wooden wedges under doors

Chorus, verse, chorus, verse, now here comes the eight

Wait, habits here too, you’re the worst, your structure compensates

But compensation feels a lot like rising up to dominate by track two

At least they all know all they hear comes from a place


[Chorus]

Oh, I know how to levitate up off my feet

And ever since the seventh grade I learned to fire-breathe

And though I feed on things that fell

You can learn to levitate with just a little help

You can levitate with just a little help


[Outro]
