He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

You never saw it coming
No time to think
Much less react to the knife in your back
Go burn a hole in the world, start walking
I'll be the one when I'm done double talking to you
Take a second now, take the rest of your life
What's integrity when you can ooze on through the other side?
If I put my mind to it I can figure it out
If I put my mind to it I can figure it out
If I put my mind to it I can figure it out
If I put my mind to it I can figure it out
Swarmed without end
How can you even pretend?
I'll stay you go
Outside that I just don't know, I don't know
Go burn a hole in the world, start walking
I'll be the one when I'm done double talking to you
Take a second now, take the rest of your life
What's integrity when you can ooze on through the other side?
If I put my mind to it I can figure it out
If I put my mind to it I can figure it out
If I put my mind to it I can figure it out
If I put my mind to it I can figure it out
Everyone
Stop screaming
Just wrap your teeth around me
And hold me to this line
These scars are ours
For all time
Background
The next time you see
You'll see it will not be me
The next time you see
You'll see it will not be me
Take a second now, take the rest of your life
What's integrity when you can ooze on through the other side?
If I put my mind to it I can figure it out
If I put my mind to it I can figure it out
If I put my mind to it I can figure it out
If I put my mind to it I can figure it out...
You never saw it coming
No time to think
Much less react to the knife in your back
Go burn a hole in the world, start walking
I'll be the one when I'm done double talking to you
Take a second now, take the rest of your life
What's integrity when you can ooze on through the other side?
If I put my mind to it I can figure it out
If I put my mind to it I can figure it out
If I put my mind to it I can figure it out
If I put my mind to it I can figure it out

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I have a few friends in a band, and they play this song and they ask me to do the backing vocals during the chorus, we don't sound bad at all. Good first song to hear from a band I don't know that much about, they show a lot of potential.
