lyrics

Like a mouth there's an opening in the street; jagged concrete like the jaws of the elite. But don't you cry because it's more obvious now, see the tattooed number on the back of my skull. It's just a matter of time before we walk without the use of our feet. Kayla, you're choking in the coloured lights, your blue mascara runs. You're tired but not lost.

Said the howler monkey; "who's the man in charge?" The way you wield that knife, you're going to land yourself the leading part. Leave the lights on when you're gone, you can teach your children the popular song, but you can't deny them the ground that's under their feet.

Teacher, the student's eyes are ready now. They're tired but not lost. The blindfold's come off.

She tells her lovers that she's not in love anymore. She quits her job on the 666th floor. On a plane and she's heading out to Sudan. She tells the monkey and her mother that she's doing whatever she can.
