lyrics

where have you been?
your car has been gone for days on end
i need a friend
this is what i get for putting all my eggs in one basket
i taught myself to play solitaire
but I cheat every time
i started becoming self-aware
and finished losing my mind

hide behind the drapes all day till it goes away
the fed-ex guy could be the next john wayne gacy
the worst kind of evil is unobtrusive and latent
i’m fairly certain that my neighbor is satan
he claims to be on a jamaican vacation
i pretend to believe his information
but I digress, i’m vomiting nonsense
without you, i’m a mess
i die and rise from the grave
gnashing my fake fangs
stick a stake in me, i’ll burst into flames

where have you been?
i’ve been drinking gin and tonics
reading kropotkin in bed
where have you been?
i need you more than you need me
what's wrong with codependency?
it's just then, as i’m hanging by a thread
i get a text that says, "hey nathan meet me at the monument"
a bronze likeness of a president who died long before you and i were alive
i need more
i want more
i need more
i put on pants and lock the door

when i finally track you to the statue
you’re holding a stolen bottle of jack from the liquor store on west ave
some habits are hard to crack
my cherished kleptomaniac
we walk down the path, and your chest lifts
you frantically list all the things you wish would exist in your life
i don’t get a word in edgewise
but that’s fine, i really don’t mind
cause i love to listen to you whine
i love to listen to you whine
i love to listen to you whine
i love to listen to you whine
i love to listen to you whine
you lean in close and whisper in my ear
everything i've wanted to hear for the past four years
where you’ve been, where you’re going
and exactly where i fit
you utter five final words, then you split

will you keep my secret?
i’ll tell you everything
if you lie for me
if you lie with me
will you keep my secret?
i’ll tell you everything
if you lie for me
if you lie with me

(will you keep my secret? i'll tell everything if you lie for me)
(will you keep my secret? i'll tell everything if you lie for me)

my lips are zipped tight as a vice grip
locked and silent
private and classified
cause i know where my future lies
a crimelord could capture me
smash my fragile kneecaps
still my faith will not lapse
because i know where my future lies
isis could threaten to send me to infidel hell
still I will not tell
because i know where my future lies
the cia could take me to guantanamo bay
waterboard me for eight days straight
still i will not sway
i will not give it away
cause I know where my future lies
my future lies within your lies
my future lies within your lies
my future lies within your lies

will you keep my secret?
i’ll tell you everything
if you lie for me
if you lie with me
will you keep my secret?
i’ll tell you everything
if you lie for me
if you lie with me
