live, this band is amazing.

they've never disappointed.

i'm not gonna lie though - no matter what anyone else thinks, instead of saying "skyscrapers small enough to feed off the lesses," i'm still gonna sing it "skyscrapers small enough to fit up their asses."

why? because it just sounds cooler.

hahahahah i totally agree that is sounds like "skyscrapers small enough to fit up their asses"

and yes.. it does sound cooler

honestly I think that is what they are saying! I've tried both of them in my head when listening to it, and it's quite clear. Plus it makes sense, and it's funny.

There's quite a few posted FTM lyrics that I suspect might be off; I don't know if they are official releases (in which case who am I to judge?) but they just don't seem right (either in the context or just sound-wise).

Actually, that makes a lot more sense. If you take the whole verse together, you could make the comparison to Darroh talking about someone who's "big-headed" (Their heads cast shadows like skyscrapers), but isn't beyond humiliation (with the head in question still being able to be shoved right up there). That's just my interpretaton, though.
