Man, you are the madness in my ear
I'll be alone tonight and I'll be in the clear
Take me for a night I said, take me for a year
I'll be your year, my dear

did you see the ice in his eye?
did you see the dagger caught in his smile?
innocent as a summer flower
with a serpent coiled under his collar

If trouble don't kill me
I'll live a long time
Ain't that trouble in mind?
Ain't that trouble in mind?

You get mistaken for strangers by your own friends
When you pass them at night...

oh these little earthquakes
here we go again
these little earthquakes
doesn't take much to 
rip us in to pieces

i can't reach you
can't reach you
give me life
give me pain
give me myself again

I'm a black hole eating optimism
I'm a black swan born white
I'm a depression still under construction
But you can make it all, yeah you can make it all
Right tonight

walls will come down all around us...

Got my mojo working but it just don't work on you
I wanna love you so bad 'til I don't know what to do...

I've seen how you've changed...

A heart that's full up like a landfill
A job that slowly kills you
Bruises that won't heal
You look so tired - unhappy
Bring down the government
They don't, they don't speak for us
I'll take a quiet life
A handshake of carbon monoxide
With no alarms and no surprises...
