Lyrics

What Works

I am a man I fuck with what works
Piece by piece I’ll disassemble my world
The forces of habit leave no will to resist
Though the cycle continues to spin emptiness
Maybe it’s pride or jealousy
That harbors the weight that’s residing in me
But the jury is in the judgment’s been passed
The gavel’s been dropped on my castle of glass

Do you believe you can outdo perfection?
Do you believe you can outdo your god?

You are woman you fuck with what works
Your boredom and comfort always comes first
Save up your grief, compile a list
You’d trade in your dreams for your own hopelessness
Life it gets messy, the cleanup ain’t free
This I regard with most certainty
So keep some distance from your back to the wall
And don’t let the aftermath pay for it all

You are the one you are my queen
You’re beyond everyone that’s ever mattered to me
You are the one a tangible dream
And I’ll trade it all in for my stupidity
Love, you are my dream

We are human and we fuck with what works
Self-destruction is our guaranteed course
We play with the future ignore the past
Every new great achievement turns an old bridge to ash
This is your life from here I resign
Don’t let your selfishness impose on mine
When you chase your desire from one tree to the next
I’ll no longer be following you with a ladder and net

Do you believe you can outdo perfection?
Do you believe you can outdo your god?
Do you believe you can outdo perfection?
Do you believe you can outdo your god?
