takes more than a meltdown to show us how
 throw a tack on the road  stop the meatplow
 got a bullet but it ain't mine.
 They got these pictures of everything
 to break us down  yeah to break me down
 they make us hate and we make it bleed.

 But I got a lover and yeah
 she shows me how
 to understand it  yea to understand
 I got a brother and well
 he show me how
 to make amends, yeah to make amends
 with it.

 Take a break from the mousetrap we call home
 takes more than a message to make me smile
 I can feel when she kisses me sleeping
 but not when the news is on
