about

Giving means owning.

lyrics

All your precious things
Are constantly diminishing
Carefully constructed house of cards
Decomposing in the yard

Seven of cups facing up
Gifts not gifts and that's the rub
Curse the symbols that got you this home
You could never leave well enough alone

Rock stardom is the fetishizing of depression
No death will ever, ever learn the lesson
Gifts are proud, manly scoring sessions
Ownership is never questioned

Every commodity
You traded up for a better scene
Humble thoughts are beneath you now
You just outgrew them somehow

Rock stardom is the fetishizing of depression
No death will ever, ever learn the lesson
Gifts are proud, manly scoring sessions
Ownership is never questioned

Absolute trust is something you earn
I liked you once but it took a turn
The whispering in the Willows told a tale
Of a long ago; a forgotten betrayal

Temptation led me not to death
But a better version of this myth
The idealized version of my former self
The truth you never wanted to tell

Rock stardom is the fetishizing of depression
No death will ever, ever learn the lesson
Gifts are proud, manly scoring sessions
Ownership is never questioned
