To tease the packs of dogs in charge
Thinking we'd leave them when we're not

The truth in one free afternoon

But there's dangerous levels of it here
But there's dangerous levels of it here
Now it's my rights versus yours
A new empire in rags
Until it's safer to walk here
Under my wheels the chance is held
Under your wheels, the hope of spring
Flying the flags of new empires in rags
But kid, it's always still me

Mirage of loss, a few more things
Under your wheels, your chance is with
We came to the right place
Deep as lakes and dark as stars
The easy call, the called-off search
A new empire in rags

The truth in one free afternoon
Your rights over my rights now
The truth in one free afternoon
Your rights over my rights now

You fall too hard, we're up too late
Your rights over my rights now
The medicine, it still won't work
Remember we were the volunteers
Fingers in paints, in paints we brought
Complex notes inside the chords
The truth in one free afternoon
The truth in one free afternoon
A new empire in rags
The new empire in rags

Courts knew this and nothing more
Gave me to save me from myself

You left your sorrow dangling
Under your wheels, the fits and starts
Spectacles painted with my shaking hand
It hangs in air like a school cheer

The time to dabble in the arts

The truth in one free afternoon
But now it's your rights versus mine

Same thing as the other time
Your rights over my rights now
We hang suspended from the heights
The medicine it still won't sing
Under your wheels, your hopeless reign
On every wall inflections carved

We came to the right place
Your rights over my rights now
