They tore your wall down
And put it up where everyone can see
After they have bought a couple drinks
It makes me wonder
What it would make you think
A dim reminder
Or just a sense of poetic irony to sing
A million songbirds pay to get a taste
Of a perfect melody they can't replace
They'll have black hearts for the future
Broken burning trees
Black hearts for the future
Brains that never learned to grieve
Jump into cold water
Fantasize until they freeze
Or decide what it means
I was asleep until three years ago
Now I can barely dream
Rotting leaves fall off my silver wreath
My birds are silent
It took till now to know
A rented house can never be a home
And names
Will always have their weight
Cause I think of him when you begin to sing
We'll have black hearts for the future
Bones stitched on our sleeves
Black hearts for the future
Hearts that never learned to bleed
Jump into cold water
Fantasize until we freeze
Or decide what it means
You will always know how to make me feel safe
Break my heart a million ways
With just the way you say
Pretentious turn of phrase
When you stare at the same sky
That I do every night
I'm no longer alone
You've burrowed deep inside my heart and made a home.

Nothing seems to change
Another night in a dirty crowded space
Try to rearrange
Patch up the holes more now
Make a little space
Try not to fall too far into the ground
Try to entertain
And hope you come around
I just want to entertain any way to get by
I know what's on your mind
When it's quiet
In the bathroom
Wallowing all alone
And I get it
I also never saw this place as home
It's a struggle to be productive
When you're never by yourself
I always hoped that'd never happen to anybody else
I just want to entertain any way to get by
I just want us to survive
The world's so big and this room is so small
I will try to rearrange
I could type for miles
Or in circles
Redirect it
Until it makes you scared
I don't get it
Even though I'm far too aware
You're not happy
Though you say it
I can see it in your eyes
I truthfully can't say I'm not surprised (hehe that doesn't make sense)
I just want to find a place that we both can call home
I just want us to survive
The world's so big and this room is so small
I will try to rearrange

Close the door
Draw the curtains
Keep it secret
Keep it safe
A hundred miles locked away
Just out of my reach
Throw my stuff out on the street
Throw a party in the empty space
Or fill with idle pottery
Whatever makes you happy
White painted wood
How many memories erased
Throw the grand piano in the fireplace
When that's all gone
Willl you still speak of me
Will they think ill of me when they're older
Extend your courtesy to me
I don't want to be a part of your holiday routine
Extend your courtesy to me
I don't want to be a part of this endless frippery
This is how blood goes
Just let it be
Extend your courtesy
Twenty one years
Do you ever look back
Any thoughts
Any regrets
Or are you content with the way things ended up to be
Cut it off
Avoid responsibility
Extend your courtesy to me
I don't want to be a part of your holiday routine
Extend your courtesy to me
I don't want to be a part of this endless frippery
This is how blood goes
Just let it be
Extend your courtesy
And it feels like a stranger's home to me
Every time that I'm home
Extend your courtesy to me
I don't want to be a part of your holiday routine
Extend your courtesy to me
I don't want to be a part of this endless frippery
This is how blood goes
Just let it be
Extend your courtesy

You asked me to take a walk
I asked you what for
We've walked a thousand miles together
And I'm too tired to walk one more
Is it ever enough
Is it too much
Am I being selfish
To want myself back
You will always have good luck
They believe every line
A pariah every time
Sixty more girls who love you for six months
Who always hate me in the end
You break them just the way you did to me
I will always be
I've spent the past five years erasing your mistakes
Breaking bones to save your life
Is it ever enough
Is it too much
Am I being selfish
Am I being selfish
You will always have good luck
They believe every line
A pariah every time
Sixty more girls who love you for six months
Who always hate me in the end
You break them just the way you did to me
I will always be royally fucked
You will always have good luck
You will always have good luck
You will always have good luck
They believe every line
A pariah every time
Sixty more girls who love you for six months
Who always hate me in the end
You break them just the way you did to me
I will always be royally fucked
