We were doomed from the start, as starters are
Why am I doing this?
Digging my own grave Though it's shallow,
I would lie in it
We're down in the basement, in the dark,
After we crash your car
Hoping fast that my arrow hits the mark,
So you know who we are

Please keep the reporters at bay
This is a matter of life and death,
But I deal with things like this everyday
Please keep the reporters at bay
You never do what I tell you to
You never do what I say
We've been hurting a long time Trying hard for this
We all have sizeable scars We got it
You'd break it all apart We got it
We can make it work like this, like this, like this

Yes we are a bullet in the heart
And the message sent
Always dragging your feet over sand
And over hot cement
Make a list of your favorites Write it down
Make it legible
A problem we're always facing You never rest
You either push or pull

Please keep the crowd under control
This is a matter of life and
Death and we're not prepared I just want you to know
Please keep the crowd under control
This is the weight of my conscience
This is an all time low
We've been hurting a long time Trying hard for this
We all have sizeable scars We got it
You'd break it all apart We got it
We can make it work like this, like this, like this

I see my baby She's starry eyed
I hear my bones break all the time
I see my baby She's starry eyed
She follows Don't call me unkind

We've been hurting a long time Trying hard for this
We all have sizeable scars We got it
You'd break it all apart We got it
We can make it work like this, like this, like this
