Born of Osiris


You’ll never laugh in the same way you did 
So dilute your instincts 
You pretend to shake the snow globe 
But say “forget the world” in your misery 
Always locked in the cradle feeding 
How much more do you need? 
You refuse to take the high road 
Lay the blame in yourself and not at your feet 

Speak to me, Poster Child 
'Cause you know everything 
You know everything about the world 
What would I ever do? 
Ever do without you 
'Cause you know everything 

If your memories of the past
Are bigger than tour future plans 
You’re going no where – you're moving backwards 
Guilty guilty, why this anxiety? 
You say the engine died? 
Try turning the key 

Speak to me, Poster Child 
'Cause you know everything 
You know everything about the world 
What would I ever do? 
Ever do without you 
'Cause you know everything 

Here the telephone is absent - silent 
Operate on influence 
Always lying 
Slip down and spiral 
Can we increase the dose? 
A million tiny reasons 
It's so easy breathing 
The air is poison 
You walk on crooked grounds 
Your upside's gone and inside's down 

Speak to me, Poster Child 
'Cause you know everything 
You know everything about the world
What would I ever do?
Ever do without you
'Cause you know everything
