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 You know that if it hides
It doesn't go away If I get out of bed You'll see me standing all alone Open-eyed
Burn the page My little dark age
All alone Open-eyed Burn the page My little dark age
