Among distant family
Bloodlines remain
You'll never shed your win fast legacy
But I attempt to steer away
From bleak conclusions
Once again, I'm soft and I lose this way
And all the smoke is gone
And you know what, what's in the box
And you'll throw down your trump card
You can trust me catch-22
But with all the depth of a teardrop
Scrub tub and a washboard
Think it's time to get clean
Don't say such permanent things
When you know that you won't always mean them
A big lie
Do you feel okay with your words and the sock in my eye?
Your permanent things
Don't say, don't say such permanent things
Check off your list of things to do
Gotta keep the score way ahead
Gotta practice your victory dance
And my harsh feelings, harsh feelings
Are just a few of millions
Strike up the grill and burn all of your enemies
And as the curtains rise
You'll show me what, what's in the box
But in ten to twenty seconds
Your capricious side will have shown
And you know it won't even matter
Singin' don't say such permanent things
When you know that you won't always mean them
A big lie
Do you feel okay with deceit you can always get by?
Your permanent things
Don't say, don't say such permanent things
♪
Climbing high and looking down
I didn't learn a thing
But how to hold my breath
And you with the upper hand now
You afford to never look back and
There you go again
How can I fit all of this in a recycling bin?
Don't say such permanent things
When you know that you won't always mean them
A big lie
Do you feel okay that your words are a sock in my eye?
Your permanent things
Don't say, don't say such permanent things, woah
Don't say such permanent things
When you know that you won't always mean them
A big lie
Do you feel okay with deceit you can always get by?
Your permanent things
Don't say, don't say such permanent things, woah
