Lyrics for Snakes & Ladders

As it starts I begin to open fire How much do I have to overlap the lines 'Cause I've grown to understand you're resigned Oh, I'll still sit and wait for it, oh, do a line, no But you don't depend on me like I do, and I do And you don't depend on me like I do, and I do And you bite me, my tutu winds inside me Don't mind me, you'll find me head-to-toe in bright green So on my knee, I'm at your feet And finally I've been givin' in, so lay your cards down And give it up if I don't know how And you feel so respected with just things I'm addicted to things that are bold and bright To selecting the tins that you're pouring your tears into Brains, oh, God, it turns out that it wasn't true 'Cause it's so consuming, the time that they're losing As I'm just awasting, so wasted Not breathing, just writhing to 'Cause you don't depend on me like I, I do But you will depend on me like I, I do Tonight, I've been away, I've been starting to trace Between what is sin now and what we could feel And be endlessly, and before we know it It feels like the real thing that oh we treasure But it feels like we're stuck in the everglades Trying to run through life, but we get nowhere Like we're searching across the savannah To fill our cavities, up with silver grains And it feels like we're falling to Saturn Just a milky star in an empty space And it looks like we'll never come down All the green clouds fucked up the sky But now nothing can smash our glass eyes Silicon rich, catching your drifts Going farther into the near depth Jupiter, Mercury, so we rot away (Where is our power, power, power) Give me something real, something evergreen, something unmundane (Where is our power, power, power) Give me something sweet, something so pristine, And it feels like we've fallen in love with it Well of course we have, have you lost yourself?
