lyrics

Your palm says
this avalanche of calm
will unravel my heart
you find it healed
but scared
Your palm says
your plan to be led will come true
with his fat cheek
and his weak chin
He's strong when your under him

Eating, Working, Dreaming
Loving to be someone

Poor fuck in a rich man's shows
I'll do this dance with you
oh but I don't fit
This poison blood runs too thick
No one who could ever write in peace
In this lonely millionaires club dream
Wake me when I'm done

With this thieves eyes
I stole a look at the crooked boy of time
he said “The good are not yet born,
but there's hope, so hold on”

Eating ,Working, Dreaming
Loving to be someone

I wore my eyes out on you
I lost my pride for you
Oh but I was just a dreamer
The reality of your flesh catches hard
The bull hits the matador
This great imitator
My words betray this thing
My shadow the only original thing
Wake me when I'm done

What a wonderful thing it is
To be the one to blame
Eating, Working, Dreaming.
