What can you tell me now
I've got a death wish
I found a new way out
And it's a crime they say
But it's the state I'm in
Scribbling lines I've saved
Just trying to write you off
How many knives in my back
Until they can cut my string
You're the ventriloquist
You've put the words in my mouth
And would it resonate
The things you threw my way
We've grown so blind to this
We'll make that our secret
Dial tone sounds
And tv hymns
I'm in the message you saved
Just let the phone ring
Ventriloquist
Tell me what to say
I'll tell them everything
(Don't tell them everything)
Guilty conscience
What can you sell me now
I got a death wish
Rabbit hole blues I guess
And did it happen so fast
Or was it paved for this
I've danced on every stage
Letting my eyes roll back
But now I'm laid so limp
Down in your basement
On quiet days I can
Still hear you whispering
Broken mirror What can you tell me now I've got a death wish I found a new way out And it's a crime they say But it's the state I'm in Scribbling lines I've saved Just trying to write you off How many knives in my back Until they can cut my string You're the ventriloquist You've put the words in my mouth And would it resonate The things you threw my way We've grown so blind to this We'll make that our secret Dial tone sounds And tv hymns I'm in the message you saved Just let the phone ring Ventriloquist Tell me what to say I'll tell them everything (Don't tell them everything) Guilty conscience What can you sell me now I got a death wish Rabbit hole blues I guess And did it happen so fast Or was it paved for this I've danced on every stage Letting my eyes roll back But now I'm laid so limp Down in your basement On quiet days I can Still hear you whispering Explain Request ×
