The Good That Won't Come Out Lyrics - The Execution Of All Things - Rilo Kiley

Let's get together and talk about the modern age 

All of our friends were gathered there with their pets 

Just talking shit about how we're all so upset 

About the disappearing ground as we watch it melt 

It's all of the good that won't come out of us 

And how eventually our hands will just turn to dust 

If we keep shaking them, standing here on this frozen lake 

I do this thing where I think I'm real sick 

But I won't go to the doctor to find out about it 

'Cause they make you stay real still in a real small space 

As they chart up your insides and put them on display 

They'd see all of it, all of me, all of it 

All the good that won't come out of me 

And all the stupid lies I hide behind 

It's such a big mistake lying here in your warm embrace 

Oh, you're almost home, I've been waiting for you to come in 

Dancing around in your old suits going crazy in your room again 

I think I'll go out an embarrass myself by getting drunk 

And falling down in the street, you say I choose sadness 

That it never once has chosen me, maybe you're right 

Let's talk about all of our friends who lost the war 

And all of the novels that had yet to be written about them 

It's all the good that won't come out of them 

and all the stupid lies they hide behind 

It's such a big mistake, standing here on this frozen lake 

It's all of the good that won't come out of me 

And how eventually my mouth will just turn to dust 

If I don't tell you quick, standing here on this frozen lake
