[verse i] put the kettle on, and make yourself a tall glass of my fate keep pouring ‘til it spills out overstep without dismay [verse ii] no need to ask if it’s at all unsuited to my tastes my life is in your hands i didn’t want it anyway [prechorus i] things will never change as long, as long as i stay you started, but we’ll end my way [chorus i] simply put, i will be gone every day’s a hit and run if it’s fight or flight, i’ll fawn ‘til i get hold of the gun [chorus ii] your reflection in the walls and your shadow in the sun take your number, block your calls i’ll decide how this is done [prechorus ii] to rebel to be a rebel’s cause enough so what you don’t, i must rather be lonely than under your thumb if you’re here, it’s just [chorus iii] so much simpler to be gone every day’s a hit and run if it’s fight or flight, i’ll fawn ‘til i get hold of the gun [chorus iv] your reflection in the walls and your shadow in the sun take your number, block your calls i’ll decide how this is done [bridge i] if our house is coming down i should leave, not hesitate paint your perfect roses brown spit on every word you say [bridge ii] our foundations all have drowned and i’m somehow still your bait nothing salvaged, nothing found nothing lost but faith [chorus v] oh, how i wish that i were gone every day’s a hit and run if it’s fight or flight, i’ll fawn ‘til i get hold of the gun [chorus vi] your reflection in the walls and your shadow in the sun take your number, block your calls i’ll decide how this is [chorus vii] so much simpler when you’re gone every day’s a hit and run if it’s fight or flight, i’ll fawn ‘til i get hold of the gun [chorus viii] your reflection in the walls and your shadow in the sun take your number, block your calls i’ll decide how this is done

[verse i] i’m easy to spook wage war to watch me flinch and i’m easy to choke if you want a neck to cinch [prechorus i] busting through the window of our glass house come the rocks home made of empty promises and sealed with broken locks [prechorus ii] you swear you know the time but all we have are frozen clocks [chorus i] you don’t know who i am i’d like to keep it that way if i can i wanna be more than your battlefield again [prechorus iii] frozen clock’s right twice a day but wrong a million more just ask mistaken shadows dancing holes into the floor [prechorus iv] i say i want you gone you say you’re halfway out the door [chorus ii] you don’t know who i am i’d like to keep it that way if i can i wanna be more than your battlefield again [chorus iii] you won’t know who i am if i have anything to say about it i will be more than your battlefield again

[verse i] obedience it’s all a test expedience i never rest [chorus i] all the little things we do mercury infects and blooms nothing but the stains i grew all across the page i doomed [verse ii] expedience lay me to rest obedience what i do best [chorus ii] all the little things we do sip of diluted perfume tepid in an empty room honey, we’re all over soon [bridge i] do you think there’s a light at the end of the tunnel where we say we made ourselves? do you find your joy in pretending we weren’t crafted to be shells? (someone else?) [bridge ii] is there enough to go around when i am nothing any more than i am something to be found drinking the dregs up off the floor [bridge iii] is there enough for me to say i’ve never wanted any more never wanted, never wanted, never wanted [chorus iii] oh, all the little things we do mercury infects and blooms nothing but the stains i grew all across the page i doomed (i’m doomed) [chorus iv] all the little things we do sip of diluted perfume tepid in an empty room honey, we’re all over soon [chorus v] don’t you think our time has come? don’t you think our prime is done? [chorus vi] don’t you think our game has run? stagnated and now we’re gone [chorus vii] all the little things we do sip of diluted perfume tepid in an empty room honey, we’re all over soon

[verse i] don’t have to lose everything but would you dare to protest when the artist colors every fatal flaw [verse ii] puppet built right off the string close your eyes, trust the process then awake as something sold and bought and drawn [prechorus i] but i think it would be nice to be the kind of guy who can look at paradise and know it’s not a lie [chorus i] build it up like you’re not gonna tear it down wish me luck before you throw me to the hounds [verse iii] never bet, you’ll never earn more than enough to cash in and at round’s end, every time, you are the fool [verse iv] and never let your guard down long enough to make exceptions ‘cause exceptions only ever prove the rule [prechorus ii] still, i think it could be nice to be the kind of guy who believes in paradise and never has to wonder why [chorus ii] build it up like you’re not gonna tear it down wish me luck before you throw me to the hounds [bridge i] somewhere there’s a little castle lost in screaming waves and somewhere is a barren swimming pool someone tells me quiet waters only wash away and i believe it, i believe it, i believe it, despite myself [bridge ii] and it drives me crazy, every sycophant who takes for granted that a thing is too good to be true all i’ve ever wanted is to hear it’s worth it is it worth it, is it worth it if you see it through someday [chorus iii] build me up like you’re not gonna tear me down wish me luck before you throw me to the hounds [chorus iv] build me up like you’re not gonna tear me down better luck next time i go through the rounds
