(Lyrics)

there's a vulture perching right offscreen
it's bitter and whispers chaotic things
and the weeps turn quick into bullying
it's so easy to see everyone can agree stop listening

i know you've heard it before
but then it wasn't enough
you don't want to be held back from the substitution
i know you've seen this before
and now enough is too much
you don't want to be set back when the substitution comes
i'm sorry

you're a marionette in the center of
the twisting of strings coming from above
it may seem too deep to recover from
it's so easy to see everyone can agree just let it go

i know you've heard it before
but then it wasn't enough
you don't want to be held back from the substitution
i know you've seen this before
and now enough is too much
you don't want to be set back when the substitution comes
i'm sorry

when the voices start spitting just be aware
i've brought enough stones for us to share
that one's grinning that one's burning aim for the throat
let em choke on the stones that we have to throw

it's the great downfall
the big overthrow
if we shoot them down
it'll make you soar

when reactions turn into hurricanes
and the middle ground feels a little tame
whether full or empty it's all the same
it's so easy to see everyone can agree you're not to blame

i know you've heard it before
but then it wasn't enough
you don't want to be held back from the substitution
i know you've seen this before
and now enough is too much
you don't want to be set back when the substitution comes
i'm sorry

  • Fav part: 'WHEN REACTIONS TURNS INTO HURRICANES....'

    Fucking awesome!!!

  • Why are you guys comparing the Silversun Pickups to Nirvana? They are two completely different styles of music over a decade apart from each other. By the way, all music is good. Every band of every genre. How good a band sounds is relative. If it's raw talent you are referring to, that's a whole nother topic all together. Everyone needs to be a little bit more understanding, and nicer to others, and their opinions. Great song from a great band!!!

  • This song is too amazing for words, as well as the band.

  • I heard this song for the first time on the radio last night. It's amazing.

    I thought they it was a song by Kill Hannah, they kinda sound similar to this.

    Still trying to figure out what genre my musical likings fall under.
