Lyrics

headlands did you forget to say you knew everything?
did you know it was my birthday?
headlands did you forget to say, it was you who called,
said i should go away?

headline: he's killed himself again
cut off a limb
he didn't like it.
headline: we're two in one,
shameful doctor
and mister hyde.

don't say you're not lying when you said you didn't know
he'd have a knife to his throat.
don't say you're not lying when you had no clue,
he'd wash away
after the rain.

holidays said i need to get away
from where i come from.
holidays; he's the only one that lives to live
the moving sun.

now i know you know i knew everyone that gave their lives for him
now i know you know i knew everyone much better than i used to
now i know you know i knew all of it
so tell me

who says you can't kill someone who's already dead
said, not for a crime, and
who says you can't kick him when he's already down?
time does it
all the time.

headlands, now you know, i gave into you,
into everything.
headlands, i do need to know,
if i waved good bye
who i waved good bye to
i waved good bye too.
