Somebody's reading your mind - damned if you know who it is

they're digging through all of your files, stealing back your best ideas

You cover your windows with lead - even keeping the pets outside

E D - E

Then you hear a moment too late the sound coming over the phone

E D - D / E

this is the spawning of the cage and aquarium - don't wait a moment too soon

used to be different - now you're the same

yawn as your plane goes down in flames
