Silversun Pickups – Substitution Lyrics

  • by
Read Time:1 Minute, 26 Second

Theres a vulture perching right off screen
And its bitter and whispers chaotic things
And it reached in quick aint it worrying
Its so easy to see, everyone can agree, stop listening

I know youve heard it before
But then it wasnt enough
You dont wanna be held back from the substitution
I know youve seen this before
And now enough is too much
You dont wanna be set back when the substitution comes
Im sorry

Youre a marionette in the center of
All the twisting strings coming from above
It may seem too deep to recover from
Its so easy to see, everyone can agree, just let it go

I know youve heard it before
But then it wasnt enough
You dont wanna be held back from the substitution
I know youve seen this before
And now enough is too much
You dont wanna be set back when the substitution comes

Im sorry
Im sorry

When the voices start spinning just be aware
I have brought enough stones for us to share
That ones grinning that ones burning, aim for the throat
Let him choke on the stones that we are to throw

Its the great downfall
Not the overthrow
If you shoot them down
Itll make you soar

When reactions turn into hurricanes
And the middle course seems a little tame
Whether full or empty its all the same
Its so easy to see, everyone can agree, youre not to blame

I know youve heard it before
But then it wasnt enough
You dont wanna be held back from the substitution
I know youve seen this before
but now enough is too much
You dont wanna be set back when the substitution comes
Im sorry
