A man is many things

Let's count them all tonight

You're letting go of strings

Replacing them with light


But I want the hit about the teenage take on pain

There's nothing catchy about the life of a saint

But I've got this band in my head

And it's breaking me down to tears 

If I scream scream scream

About a good man's life

Will you ever stop and listen

Would you open up your eyes

Would you scream with me

Sing it sad and sweet

Say goodnight, goodbye, love

In the morning you will see


Photos keep you close

With increments of light

The quiet wooden posts

The county's cold tonight


But I want the hit about the teenage take on pain

There's nothing catchy about the life of a saint

But I've got this band in my head

And it's breaking me down to tears 

If I scream scream scream

About a good man's life

Will you ever stop and listen

Would you open up your eyes

Would you scream with me

Sing it sad and sweet

Say goodnight, goodbye, love

In the morning you will see

I'd rip my eyes out for you


I screamed screamed screamed 

About a good man's life

Would you ever stop and listen

Would you open up your eyes

Would you scream with me

Sing it sad and sweet

Would it make you cry

Would you finally see

That all your lives are moments

All your words and closeness

Keep you here and human

Whispering tonight


All your lives are moments (So we scream)

All your words and closeness (And see as far as)

Keep you here and human (While they stand and stare)

Do you think they'll ever care

I don't care 

I don't care
