Mates Of State - Open Book lyrics

It all begins with a smile

Who is reading this?

Who is leading this?

Kori:

'Cause I thought you should know that this is not an open book

They read so much it tears them down

They're all around the kinder people like the Federman's tale

Jason:

It's the cycle of five

And I know myself of course 'cause it's certifiable

And the people that are pushing in their cheeks, oh

Kori:

And I thought you should warn them that this is not an open book

Don't read so much it tears you down, you're all around

The kind of people like the prodigal heirs and their sons

Jason:

It's the cycle of five

And I know how strong the pull of what's fortified, make sense?

And the people that are pushing in their cheeks, oh

Tell me what you have and that's when I'll know

If you have anything to start with

Kori:

Then I thought you should warn them that this is not an open book

Don't read so much it tears you down, you're turning into people

The people like the prodigal heirs and their sons

Jason:

It's the cycle of five

And I know myself of course 'cause it's certifiable

And the people that are pushing in their cheeks, oh

Tell me what you have and that's when I'll know

If you have anything to start with

These are the fibers of what makes the world

Left are the fibrous ones who've met the world

Here with the favors done, left are the fibers of letting go
