Verse:
I've been screaming in your ear but we're both deaf dumb and blind
eyes open wide crying on the inside
with my arms open wide you got nothing to fear
come put your hand in mine take this wheel and steer
We could travel anywhere we could pick the world up
and make it disappear but we still right here
dancing in the darkness, drowning in it's atmosphere
you're the one you fear while I'm screaming in your ear
Maybe all along I should of been screaming in my own
let go you fool, let go, let go
I was always there to hold you but you'd rather cry alone
lock the door on your home metaphor for your soul
But which side of the door is really more out of control
I stood there with a heart of fire trying to break the window
drag you from the wreckage while you were screaming at me
let go, let go, let go, let go, let go
Now I'm pretty fucking stupid but I think I get the message
I'm a let you clean your mess up I'm a find a new direction
let go of this deception, let go of this connection
close my eyes roll the dice at life's intersection
I sit here with a cuppa tea, listening to funky beats
Buddha stares back at me smiling at me knowingly
emotions take hold of me I remember it vividly
but memories bring misery my mind is a mystery
A world full of smiles and all I see are the frowns
a sun setting sky while I'm staring at the ground
a room full of angels if I care to look around
consumed by the devil in my soul dragging me down
Verse:
I'v seen enough shit to know that life can't be wasted
if happiness is a drug I'm gonna take my world and lace it
take the world and face it too much love to waste it
gonna sit down with Adam and Eve take an apple and taste it
Everything you wanted I was starting to doubt
'cause all the love I gave never seemed to amount
you looked so tired every time you came around
it was tearing me apart trying to figure it out
So I'll watch the world blaze away
through the flames and the rain I will find my way
take the apples that haven't decayed
and bake a pie on the fire that remains
I'll watch the world blaze away
through the flames and the rain I will find my way
take the apples that haven't decayed
and bake a pie on the fire that remains.
