lyrics

Gonna plot my downfall in chalk and slate
Colorless irony any one can appreciate

Retreating light of a pale moon on ascent
There's a swelling need to fight this dwelling discontent

From the summit to the ditch
From the neck up to the boots
A steady descending pitch
From the grave down to the roots

With one hand on the wall of a hall of clanging clocks
And hanging twisted keys that never knew their fated locks

Gonna plot my downfall how'd you'd least expect it
No I can't be tricked, but I could be tempted

From the summit to the ditch
From the neck up to the boots
A steady descending pitch
From the grave down to the roots

To the payoff from the stake
All the faces, who stuck around
From the giving to the take
I'm laughing all the way down

I realize I can't count on
My own safeties to light up and shut me down
Fumble the uptake when the stakes are unclear
Tumble these questions Into my nightmares

Gonna plot my downfall...

From the summit to the ditch
From the neck up to the boots
A steady descending pitch
From the grave down to the roots
To the payoff from the stake
all the faces, who stuck around
from the giving to the take
I'm laughing all the way down
Laughing all the way down
Laughing all the way

I'm laughing all the way down
Crying, screaming how far now?
I'm laughing all the way down
