lyrics

Your crystal ball is dropping into my lap, I feel it tenfold
Heavy and cracked, don't understand how you read the future it's told
But it's clear through the spider webs that you steer us into the lion's den
Into jaws our reason blends with a looming sense of fear and dread

It's your luck
Take it, don't leave it behind
Your fault I'll never be fine
You spew your prophecies at me and I heat them up, I eat them up
It's your luck
Why do you take it this far
You know better than that
You spew your prophecies at me and I heat them up, I eat them up

I eat them up, I eat them up, I eat them up
And now your ideas are mine
Those of my own, those of my own have died, died
It's your luck
Why do you take it this far
Why do you take it this far
Why do you take it this far, this far

Through the haze you find a way to see the danger in everything
To see the shadows hovering
It's all your fault I always feel every bump and every deal
Anxiety is breaking free
Fueling you and feeding me

You spew your prophecies at me and I heat them up, I eat them up
Its your luck
Take it, don't leave it behind
Your fault I'll never be fine
You spew your prophecies at me and I heat them up, I eat them up

It's clear through the spider webs
That you steer us into the lion’s den
Into jaws our reason falls
