Lawyers Lyrics
Chapter 1 takes place on empty canvases and idle hands are silencing the oxygen.
The clock keeps the beat, the sweat turns to beads, and the salt burns me alive...but my tears have all run dry
I haven't slept in days
(The devil's just like cocaine)
Gradually constant and permanently pain
Stop and breathe
It was just an awful dream
A nightmare, a night scare
Nothing to worry about
Chapter 3 -- The Things That Lawyers Never Tell
Chinese fingertrap
Arms tied behind your back and you wish we'd lend a hand but that wasn't in the contract
This is your fascination, imflammable exaggeration
Signature signed in blood, but it's artwork that we love
I haven't slept in days
(The devil's just like cocaine)
Gradually constant and permanently pain
Stop and breathe
It was just an awful dream
A nightmare, a night scare
Nothing to worry about
Wrap your hands around this pen
I'll show you what it is to live
The clock keeps the beat, the sweat turns to beads, and the salt burns me alive...but my tears have all run dry
(The devil's just like cocaine)
Gradually constant and permanently pain
It was just an awful dream
A nightmare, a night scare
Nothing to worry about
Arms tied behind your back and you wish we'd lend a hand but that wasn't in the contract
This is your fascination, imflammable exaggeration
Signature signed in blood, but it's artwork that we love
(The devil's just like cocaine)
Gradually constant and permanently pain
It was just an awful dream
A nightmare, a night scare
Nothing to worry about
I'll show you what it is to live

I love this song, its the one of the best on the CD along with Smoke and Mirrors and Approach the Bench.
its a good song.. i dont really know what the words mean though.. anyone have any ideas?
i'm not sure but i LOVE the part of:
"the devil is just like cocaine"
it's very ironic to me.. normally people say cocaine is addicting and causes ppl to do evil things. but this song is saying doing evil is addicting.. i dunno it sounded better in my head
i cant say i know what this song meens... but this song is deffinatly one of my favourites on the album
best ever
best ever
It's saying that doing evil things (the devil) is like cocaine, ADDICTIVE. We all know doing something "bad" is more fun...
Well, that's just my opinion. It's prolly all wrong.
I agree, anti.pretty.kid. It's saying that doing evil things is addictive, and basically accusing lawyers of doing bad things. I'm not sure. I haven't quite been able to piece this song together completely yet.
i dunno, like i can see where u both are cuming from but i think it mite have a different meaning. i'm probably more wrong but is it maybe about not being sure about dreams and nightmares. like not being sure about u'r reality. i dunno
love the acoustic part and the little breakdown directly after.
