[Intro]
You’re still a pair
[Verse 1]
Step into my world
It’s a shared gravity
From eighteen sixty-five
This no modern tragedy
You’re looking for a hero
But you find reflection
A seasoned detective
In a loop for self-correction
One side is polite, clinical, and so clean
The other side is Rough
A vicious sender unseen
You will try keep your distance
The leak it has an instance
So you cannot avoid
For this cost is where ya fate lives
[Chorus]
Ain’t nothing funny in a Leery Place
And if you get unplaced
You still in a place
Ain’t no wary in a demise of haste
Even if you change your name
You can’t unseen your face
And if you comb your hair
Look, Dealer Beware
A fragment there
A part of here
You can’t unsend
Just as you sin
’Cos all in all
You’re still a pair
Bridge [Spoken]
To be forgotten is a greater loss
Than to be trapped
Then to be lost
To Live forever you must be erased
Only to be a fragment
Here in a leery place
[INSTRUMENTAL]
[Verse 2]
What’s a house with no home
Four walls in the trap
This Generational Heart
Is this history I map (they)
Try to straighten out my hair
But that comb had no teeth
You’re scratching at the surface
While I’m preaching underneath
Polite is just a mask
A clinical disguise
To hide the Vicious Compelling
The scalping in your eyes
Fading in the mirror
To reclaim me
All this looking back
To go Forward
That’s Life as Larry
[Chorus]
Step into my world
It’s a shared gravity
From eighteen sixty-five
This no modern tragedy
You’re looking for a hero
But you find reflection
A seasoned detective
In a loop for self-correction
One side is Polite, clinical, and so clean
The other side is Rough
A vicious sender unseen
You will try keep your distance,
The leak it has an instance
So you cannot avoid
For this
Cost is where ya fate lives
[Chorus]
Ain’t nothing funny in a Leery Place,
And if you get unplaced
You still in a place
Ain’t no wary in a demise of haste
Even if you change your name
You can’t unseen your face
And if you comb your hair
Look, Dealer Beware
A fragment there, a part of here
You can’t unsend
Just as you sin
’Cos all in all
You’re still a pair
