A man is many things
Let's count them all tonight
You're letting go of strings
Replacing them with light

But I want to hear about the teenage take on pain
There's nothing catchy about the life of a saint
And with this song in my head
It's breaking me down to tears
When I scream scream scream
About a good man's life
Would you ever stop and listen
Would you open up your eyes
Would you scream with me
Sing it sad and sweet
Say goodnight, goodbye love
In the morning you will see

Photos keep you close
With increments of light
The quiet wooden posts
The county's cold tonight

But I want to hear about the teenage take on pain
There's nothing catchy about the life of a saint
And with this song in my head
It's breaking me down to tears
If I scream scream scream
About a good man's life
Would you ever stop and listen
Would you open up your eyes
Would you scream with me
Sing it sad and sweet
Say goodnight, goodbye love
In the morning you will see
I'd rip my eyes out for you

You're screaming at the cold
I hold you close
You're asking why
It's so dark tonight
I don't know why

I screamed screamed screamed
About a good man's life
Would you ever stop and listen
Would you open up your eyes
Would you scream with me
Sing it sad and sweet
Would it make you cry
Would you finally see
That all your lives are moments
All your words and closeness
Keep you here and human
Whispering tonight

So we scream (All your lives are moments)
The sadness sweetly (All your words and closeness)
While they stand and stare (Keep you here and human)
Do you think they'll ever care
I don't care
I don't care
