Oh, I know how to levitate up off my feet And ever since the seventh grade I learned to fire-breathe And though I feed on things that fell You can learn to levitate with just a little help Learn to levitate with just a little help Come down, come down Cowards only come through when the hour's late And everyone's asleep, mind you Now show up, show up I know I shouldn't say this But a curse from you is all that I would need right now, man Come down, come down Cowards only come through when the hour's late And everyone's asleep, mind you Now show up, show up I know I shouldn't say this But a curse from you is all that I would need right now, man Danger in the fabric of this thing I made I probably shouldn't show you, but it's way too late My heart is with you hiding, but my mind's not made Now they know it like we both knew for some time I'd say They're smirking at first blood, they're circling above But this is not enough Yeah, this is not what you thought No, no we are not just graffiti on a passing train I got back what I once bought back In that slot I won't need to replace This culture is a poacher of overexposure, not today Don't feed me to the vultures I am a vulture who feeds on pain Sleep in a well-lit room, don't let the shadow through And sever all I knew, yeah, sever all I thought I could depend on my weekends On the freezing ground that I'm sleeping on Please, keep me from, please, keep me Down from the ledges Better test it, wooden wedges under doorways Keep your wooden wedges under doors Chorus, verse, chorus, verse Now here comes the eight Wait, habits here too, you're the worst Your structure compensates But compensation feels a lot like rising up to dominate by track two At least they all know all they hear comes from a place Oh, I know how to levitate up off my feet And ever since the seventh grade I learned to fire-breathe And though I feed on things that fell You can learn to levitate with just a little help You can levitate with just a little help Welcome to Trench
