lyrics

lips are twitching so you crack a smile
you’ve been conditioned to listen and wait
move an inch and i will trek a mile
i'm a fisherman and you're the bait

you know you'll always be my valentine
now swear to god that you will never tell
they're streaming every indiscretion live
for caterpillars of the commonwealth

gotta go
you can stay
make yourself at home
gotta go
this campaign
don't run itself you know

you've got potential little parasite
i tie your hands so i can wish you well
cuz i'm a gentleman and you are like
a caterpillar of the commonwealth

gotta go
i said no
you need to know your role
gotta go
i said no
it's all under control

oh that was so long ago
i don't even know
baby please
she's nothing
nothing to me

i said more photographs may come to light
i said i'm sorry and i'm seeking help
i said you'd never see me crawling like
a caterpillar of the commonwealth

but i hope
this don't change
the way you want to vote
but i hope
this don't change
the way you want to vote

for caterpillars of the commonwealth
for caterpillars of the commonwealth

It's like soaking in a warm bath of feels and affirmation. Has a touch of old school American Football in there for the elder emos but with modern musical chops. toast-king
