lyrics

My narrow limits. My lack of confidence
My endless great, great powerlessness
My deep desires and short sight
I'll sit, be quiet and listen
Turned myself down a notch, cranked you up a lot
That's of no use when the speakers are falling apart
You said you would not leave till I'm in a cold dark grave
Oh, I still picture tombstones wearing our pretty names

You'd put your head through the wall
I'd pick you up when you'd fall
Thought we could be
A glaring guiding light for all the world to see
My smile's a skeleton grin
Killed such a beautiful thing
I doubt that God
Would sacrifice another son for us

I felt my body lose the control
A million cigarettes ago
The hopes and fears from all these years
Are here with us tonight
They are taking shapes and given names
Until the morning light

You'd put your head through the wall
I'd pick you up when you'd fall
Thought we could be
A glaring guiding light for all the world to see
My smile's a skeleton grin
Killed such a beautiful thing
I doubt that God
would sacrifice another son for us
What kind of bastard nails his child to the cross?

Better to be angry than nothing at all
Better to be gone when the curtain calls
It's the tiniest things that keep life interesting
Like an airplane crash or a school shooting
The danger is you don't resist
The danger is you die like this
Oh, I won't wait for what time may bring
The way out is the way in

The way out is the way in
Our pretty names carved on a grave
