lyrics

Never quiet now and never quite the same
Can't turn it down or find someone to blame
The effects collect until someone complains
Then find a way

Get fine with this
Or you chasing the cravings of craven agents that insist
On calling it "old magic"
Stopped making sense
Sworn to enforcing etiquette that persists
Conjuring old magic

Give a little then get whatever keeps me fed
Worked up the nerve
Heavy as lead
Cause either you've been missed or you've been misled
You were so obsessed

Get fine with this
Or you chasing the cravings of craven agents that insist
On calling it "old magic"
Stopped making sense
Sworn to enforcing etiquette that persists
Conjuring old magic

I didn't need it to be good
It was a means to an end
It was a place to keep my clutter
But soon I'm meeting everybody
And for everyone you know
There's someone who knows you better
Guess I couldn't shake the paranoia
Imagination's running wild
My foundation's in the gutter
I was kind of jealous, I'll admit it
At least you got to run around
I'm still digging out my tunnel
