The Arcane Symbols

Give me another halo 'cause this one has rusted away, oh
Sorry, little darling, but this time you're just gonna wait, so
Listen, you can hear them try to dig their way out but they can't now
The water's a liar, a cheater, a shark, and a scam

Here comes the puppet, the killer, the God and they sing
La,la, la, la, la, la
Picture the voyeur, the lover, the lawyer and child
Using the metronome

Trying to mix sex and death without missing a beat
Where did I place my keys?
I need to reopen the gate in the yard for my friends, oh
I want them back in again

Did you, did you, did you, did you hear them?
Squirming and kicking and writhing in unconscious fear, fear
Fear is the last word you ever expected to hear
So any last words to the boy that knew you so well, dear?

Now fuck all the rumors, the questions, the stories, who needs them
La,la, la, la, la, la
There's more truth in whispers and blisters and snow flakes
'Cause they can only dissolve

Write it all down in the sand and the dirt to find reason
Is easy to blow away
Now Bertrand Russell will finally sleep really easy
Although there's no heaven for him

Oh, d-d-doctor, oh, oh, oh
These arcane symbols rest above my head
Those sharks will shudder until they're dead
The seasons change and switch the blame
On the arcane symbols above my head

What was it then?
A means to an end?

These lyrics are lies to cover up lies
Of the feelings that grow from the troubles that blow
From the open wounded mouth to the summer's last drought
Until the tongue will not move to explain it to you
