The writing on the wall changes everyday 

Moving the lights about 

We live by stealth alone 

By simple truths - that's our philosophy 

Oh what a perfect day - stretch it out forever 



With flowers for your grave 

A snowdrop for your soul 

Down on your knees and pray 

May lightning strike your bones 

The devil makes his own pornography 

Oh what a cross to bear 

Freaking out completely 



You locked yourself away 

Now you're dead inside 

You dug yourself a grave 

Now you're dead inside 

The promises you made 

Were all dead inside 



The calm before the storm 

The bitter taste of mediocrity 

Turning you inside out 

I'm waiting in the wings 

No news of joy - just more hypocrisy 

Oh what a strange affair 

We belong together 



You locked yourself away 

Now you're dead inside 

You dug yourself a grave 

Now you're dead inside 

The promises you made 

Were all dead inside 

You made your bed 

Now lie in it - dead inside 



You locked yourself away 

Now you're dead inside 

You dug yourself a grave 

Now you're dead inside 

The promises you made 

Were all dead inside 

You made your bed 

Now lie in it - dead inside
