lyrics

There's two twin deaf kids and they've gotta make
An ungodly decision
They decide which one gets to leave this place
And which one will forsake it, to make it

So, the first kid says in his temporal tone,
"I don't think there's a way to resolve it.
We should wrap both these towels 'round our blistering bones.
Wait it out in the closet."

His brother looks him up and down
And prophesied how all of it should end
He said, "They're buried underneath the yard
And no one ever listens or visits."

All that I know, it's no way to fix it
All that I know, it's no way to fix it
All that I know, it's no way to fix it
All that I know, it's no way to fix it

It didn't really matter how it happened when it did?
'Cause when it happened, you reacted with an apathetic wince
So you try to wash it out but that's a stain that won't dissolve
And we all believed in ghosts until you walked into the wall

So give up!
So give up!
So give up!
So give up!

All that I know, it's no way to fix it
All that I know, it's no way to fix it
All that I know, it's no way to fix it
All that I know, it's no way to fix it
