lyrics

Verse 1:
Tell me once again that I
Have lost control of my own life
As if I haven't seen it right in front of me a hundred times
You can scream some more, whatever makes you happy
I'm sorry I'm a godless queer
Well, maybe I should volunteer
At church camp one more summer, reconnect my strings to puppeteers
That don't breathe anymore, and if they do, they won't have me
There's a creak in the boards
I can never make you happy

Chorus:
But I've seen the war inside these dusty windows
So I leave the shore and follow where the wind goes
There's a riot on the airwaves and I don't like hearing noise without a melody
I used to plead for your forgiveness and permission
Now I scream for more; I'm tired of submission
There's two devils on my shoulders 'cause no angel could endure the righteous hell in me

(1, 2, 3, 4!)

Verse 2:
I breathe until I fall apart
I'm bleeding from a shattered heart
I scrape my severed soul that split in seven segments, and I start
To walk again
I killed to make you happy
I'm barefoot on a gravel road
Exhausted and a little stoned
My headphones hold my head together when it cannot bear the load
I'm on the mend
But I fold when you look at me
It was all pretend
I'm ripped through; are you happy?

Chorus
Guitar Solo

Verse 3:
You're tearing down my citadel
Afraid that I might kiss and tell
I think I found my heaven even though you tried to give me hell
You can take it back
I know you want it badly
I know I won't be bid farewell
No cannons and no ringing bells
You won't give me a fanfare or a penny for the wishing well
And I hate the fact
That you think I'll make you happy
But I won't wait to laugh
I don't care that you're not happy
