His heart is full
With steal wool
And the bottom of his feet
Have been put to rest
He can't dig that deep no more
Cause the guilt she laid upon him
When she came undressed
Madness swirled around
It was unfolded unpressed
And all she wants to know is darlin'
Did she do her best?

She just started smoking again
She opened up her mouth
Let the sin back in
And it choked her
She can't see in the dark no more
Cause he took away the space
She'd been saving it for denial
Madness twirled round in her heart
Like it hasn't in a while

Did she do her best
To put her world at unrest
Did she do her best
To put her man at rest
He must have known the time
But the clock was like a brick on her chest

She wrote bout the jeopardy of circumstance
With the ground so soft
The trees are falling through the earth
And she's just willing for one more chance
To burn it all down
And give back whatever it's worth
Madness swirled round
And the whole damn thing was unearthed

Did she do her best
To put her life at unrest
Did she do her best
To put her man at rest
He must have known the time
But the clock was like a brick on her chest
And all she wants to know is darling
Did she do her best
And all she wants to know is darling
Did she do her best
And all she wants to know is darling.
