The Good That Won't Come Out

Lyrics

Let's get together and talk about the modern age
 All of our friends were gathered there
 With their pets just talking shit
 About how we're all so upset about the disappearing ground
 As we watch it melt
 It's all of the good that won't come out of us
 And how eventually our hands will just turn to dust
 If we keep shaking them
 Standing here on this frozen lake
 ♪
 I do this thing where I think I'm real sick
 But I won't go to the doctor to find out about it
 'Cause they make you stay real still in a real small space
 As they chart up your insides and put them on display
 They'd see all of it, all of me, all of it
 All of the good that won't come out of me
 And all the stupid lies I hide behind
 It's such a big mistake
 Lying here in your warm embrace
 ♪
 Oh, you're almost home
 I've been waiting for you to come in
 Dancing around in your old suits
 Going crazy in your room again
 I think I'll go out and embarrass myself
 By getting drunk and falling down in the street
 You say I choose sadness
 That it never once has chosen me
 Maybe you're right
 ♪
 Let's talk about all of our friends who lost the war
 And all of the novels that had yet to be written about them
 It's all the good that won't come out of them
 And all the stupid lies they hide behind
 It's such a big mistake
 Standing here on this frozen lake
 It's all of the good that won't come out of me
 And how eventually my mouth will just turn to dust
 If I don't tell you quick
 Standing here on this frozen lake
