It's hard to tell you just what I think these words mean when every phrase turns a different ending. And my old friends can barely stay clean. A circumstance makes me condescending. Is that what you wanted, a simple discussion? I know you think it's fair, but deep down you know I don't care. So break my heart if you don't know me. Break my heart so I stop pretending. And at your peak, you explained it calmly; all your life, you've been contending. And I know you think you've worked it out. With loose lips, the ship sinks; we're going down. So divide all your friends with your memories between who they are and they used to be. I'm lying face down with the apathy. Forget what it was and what it meant to me. Is that what you wanted, a simple discussion? I know you think it's fair, but deep down you know I don't care.

My full moon, don't go so soon. It's not like you, but I'll die trying, too. Harboring my youth, now I'm dead weight. Now I'm dead weight. We're passively consumed like an earthquake. But now it's my hands that shake. I've got no clue. Caught in this loop. And I like you, but I'll die trying, too. Harboring my youth, now I'm dead weight. Now I'm dead weight. We're passively consumed like an earthquake. But now it's my hands that shake. So tell me it's nothing of which you wouldn't approve. From bullshit to cunning, it feels like I'm playing a ruse. So I'll beg for money, the shame and abuse. I'm cutting the corners in telling the truth. My eyes sink like anchors when they're not in use, so I'm taking perspective like a knot in my noose. But I'll die trying, too.

Listen to the radio, your favorite talk show. I don't even mind. There's something in the buzzing tones, fluorescent lights and megaphones keep me up all night. But if you called my name, I didn't know. I was half dead in the winter snow, trying to hold the breeze. In a house of glass, you're throwing stones. The only way I've ever known, so set me free. What would you say now? Would you let me in or would you cut me out? So profound as every word spills it. Is it just me or a separate identity? And from these streets I watched it form into a bloodbath that you adorned. Satirical indeed, but you're the only one laughing. Speak into the telephone with every phrase you've ever known to keep me off your mind. There's something in the overtones, to improvise, to fit the mold. Suits me just fine. But if you called my name, I didn't know. I was carving out a heart of stone for when you leave. In a house glass, you should've known the consequence of getting old. So set me free. You say it to yourself. You don't need no one else. You say it to yourself. No you don't need my fucking help. What would you say now? Would you let me in or would you cut me out? So profound as every word spills it. Is it just me or a separate identity? And from these streets I watched it form into a bloodbath that you adorned. Satirical indeed, but you're the only one laughing.

Broadway 04:12
So let me know if I go to far as you deal the cards. In neon lights they'll talk all night and fight for the pulpit. So take into account with all your whereabouts and put me in the ground; I'd be so better off. Oh, now you've won the crowd theatrical and selling out. I want that Broadway sound but I know it's not enough. So keep it slow, stay in your car as I beg the stars. In the dead of night, we'll keep up this fight and ask, "Was it worth it?" Take into account with all your whereabouts and put me in the ground; I'd be so better off. Oh, you've won the crowd theatrical and selling out. I want that Broadway sound but I know it's not enough.
