release

Wait 'til you’re announced

We’ve not yet lost all our graces

The hounds will stay in chains

Look upon your greatness

That you’ll send the call out

 

Call all the ladies out

They’re in their finery

A hundred jewels on throats

A hundred jewels between teeth

Now bring my boys in

Their skin in craters like the moonthe moon

The moon we love like a brother, while he glows through the roomthe room

 

Dancin' around the lies we tell

Dancin' around big eyes as well

Even the comatose they don’t dance and tell

 

We live in cities you'll never see on screen

Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run things

Living in ruins of a palace within my dreams

And you knowyou know, we're on each other's team

 

I'm kind of over getting told to throw my hands up in the airin the air, so there

So all the cups got broke shards beneath our feet but it wasn’t my fault

And everyone’s competing for a love they won't receive

'Cause what this palace wants is release
