I left your heart of glass in my unmade bed
In the right time you could shine so bright in my doubtful eyes
&I imprint all your ideas on mine
I move awkwardly at the speed of light
Maybe it's easier to be afraid -drenched in tragedy man-made
My compass is an antique -but if I'm not back soon don't come looking for me
You can take it pretty far on a prayer that's pale &synthetic
Bending my crowbar with tension that's telekinetic
A paradox poetic you get choked up reading the classics
Your pride'll take a gluttonous bite a stupid question I'd rather not ask it
I take a sip of something I can barely taste
Dull as dusk with a skull and crossbones to bring us luck
&I i know that you can't read my mind
But I swear I said the same thing a hundred times
Maybe it's harder than it should be -variations on a theme
I could wear it right on my sleeve -when an antagonist emerges don't blame me
You can take it pretty far on a prayer that's pale and synthetic
Bending my crowbar with tension that's telekinetic
A paradox poetic you get choked up reading the classics
Your pride'll take a gluttonous bite a stupid question I'd rather not ask it
A stupid question I'd rather not ask it
A stupid question I'd rather not ask it
