[Verse 1]
And we sang
Death to those above us
But not our deaths
Fom those below
And we sang
Our deaths are for ourselves
On our bizarre terms only
[Chorus]
And we sang
Choking on the calla lilies, laying in a pool of your own phlegm
I wish to make amends but I will flail and not attend to what is real
And we sang
[Verse 2]
Punish me a little though
This guilt is bittersweet but painfully uncool
[Chorus]
And we sang
Choking on the calla lilies, laying in a pool of your own phlegm
I wish to make amends but I will flail and not attend to what is real
And we sang
Can you just look away for a second while I loosen my belt?
[Bridge]
I lived my life like spilled milk
I lived my life like spilled milk
I lived my life like spilled milk
I lived my life like spilled milk
I lived my life like spilled milk
I lived my life like spilled milk
[Outro]
And all this genuflection
And all this flagellation
Are no consolation
Is no exculpation
There's no vindication
No overdue salvation
No patient parent waiting
To tell you you're just doing fine
