lyrics

Survive this nova, keep the atom from splitting...
Dare me to let go?! No laughing matter.
Perhaps tonight is the last time I'll die for you -
serve you as the magician's assistant...
Your Turn! Get in the box! I'll bring the the saw...
I'll pull the rabbit out of your hat even if it bleeds...
My greatest magic trick was keeping this atom from splitting...
Your greatest magic trick was keeping these from hitting...
The preacher's speech: Bad advice!
Whore label of chords: another false idol!
Stab them with every note: relentless in pursuit!
Does it matter who it touches?
How elegantly it was put?
A trick executed with glory fading...
A brittle structure that is love, only diseased...
Praying until knees bleed for an afterlife:
You are remembering dreams...
I WROTE MY LOVE LETTER WITH A CHICAGO TYPEWRITER,
my grand finale!
