talking heads

[Intro – half-awake, glitchy, low] Half up, half awake, half cup, half shakes House of cards, house of pain, house of shards, house of rain Talking heads… talking heads… [Verse 1] Talking heads, breaking bread, talking heads, mental shreds Broken minds, intertwined, saying it’s done — and it’s done Is it done? Was it fun? Talking heads, walking dead, broken dreams, torn seams Talking heads, always feds — but were you there? Did you care? TV screen, lucid dream, golden beams, lanterns flickering… [Pre-Hook / Chant] Did you wait? No no no no no Can you relate? No no no no no Did you ask? Or simply break another promise like it was a task? You’re a fake… talking heads [Hook] Talking heads — you ask if I’m awake? Yeah Talking heads — another call, another text Another appearance while I exit… [Verse 2] Always late, you never are around Priorities misplaced? Yeah, you have run aground Talking heads, talking to the dead Talking heads, promise of gold from lead Ringmaster? It’s all a show Elephants dance in the ring below Mules dance and bray, nightmares at play You asking me to stay? No no no no no You want me to wait? No no no no no This is a mistake and you and I both know I did not want to partake — just watch my afterglow [Pre-Hook / Chant] Did you wait? No no no no no Can you relate? No no no no no Did you ask? Or simply break another promise like it was a task? You’re a fake… talking heads [Hook] Talking heads — you ask if I’m awake? Yeah Talking heads — another call, another text Another appearance while I exit… [Bridge – slower, more vulnerable] How much can I take? What you put me through Because you’re fake, you’re the curse the wind blew Talking heads, walking dead Talking heads… can you see how much I bled? [Final Hook / Outro – double kick rise, then fade with soft solo/instrumental] Did you wait? No no no no no Can you relate? No no no no no Talking heads… talking heads… (just watch my afterglow…)
