It’s A Trap!
It’s a trap!
And I set it!
Now we’re in it and we’re all gonna die

Your hands over my shoulders, said, “How free you wanna be?”
I said, “Free enough, Yariv
But I’m shaking life a leaf
So don’t touch me”

“Anger & defensiveness will tax you till you’re broke
Disconsolate, alone
And you act like you don’t know
But you know

There’s gotta be a reason for the things that you do
And if it seems mysterious
It’s only to you”

It’s a trap!
And I set it!
Now we’re in it and we’re all gonna die
I can’t say “I’m sorry” for the rest of my life
And even if I could, well, what’s it gonna make right?
It’s a trap and I sеt it
And now we’re in it and we’rе all gonna die
“You’re cradling the catapult, so where you wanna go?”
I forgot I got a vote
Picked my favorite place we spoke:
A parade float

Accountability and ownership are bullets on your breath
A hornet in the head
So when they sentence you to death
Stay dead

And circulate the mass card
Sketch yourself as a saint
A blindfolded Hail Mary’s all you’ve got left to play

It’s a trap!
And I set it!
Now we’re in it and we’re all gonna die
I can’t fake the feeling without feeling ashamed
And even if I could, well, would you want it that way?
It’s a trap and I set it
And now we’re in it and we’re all gonna die

So determined to make terminal my causal wounds
Self-Inflicted
Drone-delivered
Killer/Casualty, too
It’s a trap!
And I set it!
Now we’re in it and we’re all gonna die
I can’t erase the history by torching the place
Or purify my meaning just by changing my name
It’s a trap - I set it
It’s a trap - i set it
It’s a trap
It’s a trap
It’s a trap
