Though I'd have to hollow out my heart
Paint a twisted face and carve it out
Paint a twisted face and carve it out
Dress it up like someone else's nightmare
A candle flickering alive in side
And I will keep a scowling
on the doorstep of my love
So others are afraid to go in side
So others are afraid to go inside
I've tried hard, oh darling,
But it's not me, it's you
In the comfort of the darkness
for every little daydream
A spark that flickers up and turns to flames
A spark that flickers up and turns to flames
If you wanna fight me there, then fight me
And we can walk ten paces in turn
you'll just have to shoot me through
Cause I would rather die than see your pain
I would rather die than see your pain
I've tried hard, oh darling
But it's not me, it's you
Just kickin' ass back and forth like this
Trippin' up back and forth like this
Slippin' up back and forth like this
Just kickin' us back and forth like this
With the bills and the calls
I've seen it all through the night
The bills and the falls and the kills
I've seen it all through the night
Through the night and back again
I feel like leavin' Lord,
have to pick apart my brain
Like a flock of crows upon a scarecrow
If he could raise his arms, they'd fly away
If he could raise his voice, they'd fly
I've tried hard, oh darling
To what it's not me, it's you
Who's kicking us back and forth like this
I've tried hard, oh darling,
To what it's not me, it's you
Tripping us back and forth like this
Slipping us back and forth like this
It's kicking us back and forth like this
With the bills and the calls
I've seen it all through the night
The hills and the falls and the kills
I've seen it all through the night
Through the night and back again you
