lyrics

Even though the light post told me where to go it refused to give me any direction. Windshield. Seat belt. Silent phone in the florescent 7/11. Terrible to say but when the heat is on there is really no choice but to say it: the failure of this connect to come through results in another connection.

Traps don't set themselves, I remember my second face.
Integrity won't build itself, don't forget you have a name.

Suddenly the sky went black to white and there was no explanation for this. Neither was there for the phenomenon of the rapid influx of rabbits. So was spread like wildfire the fear of myxomatosis. Little did the city know beneath my bed lay the antidote and diagnosis.

Traps don't set themselves, I remember my second face.
Integrity won't build itself, don't forget you have a name.
A trial will not heal itself, but it promises to end.
And I cannot take care of myself, thank you God for all my friends.

Good luck: no it does not exist in the sense you think it does.
I want you to know that real love would conquer anything, so you see, it's not with us.
You already know that if the memories of us keep calling, you got to let them go.
If the enemy resides too closely, you better just go...

Because traps don't set themselves, nor are they set by someone else.

Broken hearts, stay apart. The distance it might fix them. Slow.
But whose to say a different way would be better for our children? No.

Traps don't set themselves, I remember my second face.
Integrity won't build itself, don't forget you have a name.
A trial will not heal itself, but it promises to end.
And I cannot take care of myself, thank you God for all my friends.
