Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Call out your castaway and you'll wake up to carry in the new day
Send them from castle on high, talk is talk, solely in your mind
Claim-stake the final words
What goes around's knockin' at your front door
[Verse 2]
Straightface you're wrapped in, high-flown for hire
Make believe you breathe out everyone you take
[Verse 3]
The viewpoint slam, mates just look around to know you're wicked
Proclaimed from protected stances
Who wallowin', where would you've fallen into?
You demonize what you don't understand
Darts surround your heavy, heavy hand
[Verse 4]
Straightface you're wrapped in, high-flown for hire
Make believe you breathe out everyone you take
[Verse 5]
Better keep the bags packed, keep your nose clean
Check the shelf life and date
Reticent gonna soon realize showgirl's magazines define your mind's eye
You're a rough draft, you're old news
You're a grifter with a funny little hat
[Verse 6]
Straightface you're wrapped in, high-flown for hire
Make believe you breathe out everyone you take
