Breathing in the dark, lying on its side

The ruins of the day painted with a scar

And the more I straighten out

The less it wants to try

The feelings start to rot one wink at a time



Oh, forgiving who you are

For what you stand to gain

Just know that if you hide it doesn't go away

When you get out of bed don't end up stranded

Horrified with each stone on the stage

My little dark age



Picking through the cards, knowing what's nearby

The carvings on the face say they find it hard

And the engine's failed again, all limits of disguise

The humor's not the same coming from denial



Oh, I grieve in stereo

The stereo sounds strange

I know that if you hide it doesn't go away

If you get out of bed and find me standing all alone

Open-eyed

Burn the page

My little dark age



I grieve in stereo

The stereo sounds strange

You know that if it hides it doesn't go away

If I get out of bed you'll see me standing all alone

Horrified, on the stage

My little dark age



Giddy with delight, seeing what's to come

The image of the dead

Dead ends in my mind



Policemen swear to god

Love's seeping from the guns

I know my friends and I

Would probably turn and run

If you get out of bed

Come find us heading for the bridge

Bring a stone, all the rage

My little dark age



I grieve in stereo

The stereo sounds strange

I know that if you hide it doesn't go away

If you get out of bed and find me standing all alone

Open-eyed

Burn the page

My little dark age
