lyrics

I could pin the moment down on fly paper
Spread its wings so wide
How unlike the moment resolve left her

And I could mount it on a wall or save it in a cigar box
Or I could hide it

Paper once was skin
Stretched out and pounded thin
Dip your knife in ink you gotta cut it in
How else will they know it's a sin?

I built you a glass terrarium and I let moss block out the sun
I catalogued your growing delirium
You know my flash kills better than any gun

And I could mount it on a wall or save it in a cigar box
Or I could hide it

Paper once was skin
Stretch me out, pound me thin
Dip your knife in ink you gotta cut it in
How else will I know it's a sin?

(I'm gonna do what it takes to win)
