Lyrics Laughing Maniacally - We Cut Corners

Laughing Maniacally

I can only wait so long for this
I don’t know if I can wait much longer
If I linger 'til it hits my fingertips
The feeling’s only gonna get stronger
And you give, and you give, and you give
For every wisdom received there is one that you have to resist
It’s no way to live
But it’s a way to exist
Rewind me to a time when the world
Was disinclined to wallow in resentment
I’d be happy if my later life was defined by your kind and solitary contentment
And I know, and I know, and I know
For everyone you include there is one that you must discommode
You either run out of room
Or you run out of road
When we’re aligning
We’re era-defining, we’re in the ascendant
We’re on the attack
Do you remember?
Laughing maniacally
All of the way to the brink and back
When we’re opposing
The walls are collapsing and closing
Over ourselves
But do you remember?
Climbing mechanically
All of the way back into our shells
Codified affection, start to slip
Slowly into co-dependence
Do you know why all my failed relationships are prone to trailing off
mid-sentence?
And I try, and I try, and I try
To keep my head low and my hopes inappropriately high
When you’ve got nothing to show
You’ve got nothing to hide!
When we’re aligning
We’re era-defining, we’re in the ascendant
We’re on the attack
Do you remember?
Laughing maniacally
All of the way to the brink and back
When we’re opposing
The walls are collapsing and closing
Over ourselves
But do you remember?
Climbing mechanically
All of the way back into our shells
I can only wait so long for this
I don’t know if I can wait much longer
When we’re aligning
We’re era-defining, we’re in the ascendant
We’re on the attack
Do you remember?
Laughing maniacally
All of the way to the brink and back
When we’re opposing
The walls are collapsing and closing
Over ourselves
But do you remember?
Climbing mechanically
All of the way back into our shells
