I got tired of sadness I got tired of all the madness I got tired of being a badass all the time It’s only survival Only not dead upon arrival Only ahead of every rival that we find
And we’ve ridden beyond where we could safely touch down And we’re out in the void past where we could’ve had turned around I tried my feet on the floor, tried to beat on the door But it didn’t even make a sound Got my heart open wide But the city been shut down
It’s easy to go babe It’s just an easy yes or no, babe It’s just an easy way to throw away what we have I don’t need a letter I don’t need anybody better I don’t need anybody ever, I never have
And you’ve ridden beyond where you could safely touch down And you’re out in the void past where you could’ve had turned around Hey I told you before, I needed you more But it didn’t even make a sound I got my heart open wide But the city been shut down
Now sooner or later It’s just an empty elevator Just the song of the revelator on every floor Now how can I get it right? I don’t even like what I write I don’t even like what I like anymore
But I stand in the yard and watch the evening come down And I shuffle the cards when all the idiots come around Hey I told you before, I needed you more But you didn’t even turn around Got my heart open wide But the city been shut down I got my heart open wide But the city been shut down
Hey I told you before, I needed you more But you couldn’t even turn around Got my heart open wide But the city been shut down Got my heart open wide But the city been shut down Got my heart open wide But the city been shut down Got my heart open wide But the city been shut down
See the lines in the field As they curve away from you As the rows go flashing by They say the signs will reveal it But they hardly ever do And I know that can’t be right
See, I was steadily moving But now I’m steady standing still So clearly set up to fail I have to wonder what you’re after
I see the lake in the evening As it’s dripping off your skin And I try to hold it tight I try to shake off that feeling But it just keeps slipping in Like the day into the night
I been seeing you suffering And I see you suffering still You have to take it apart You have to make this matter
You have made an impossible house You have made an impossible house You have made an impossible house You have made an impossible house
I took a look at the cards And I laid them out for you Just a captain doomed to drown I went and pulled the alarm And it played around the room You were laughing at the sound
Went to your palace and hid As the thieves approached the throne Like that McCallister kid You have been left at home alone
You have made an impossible house You have made an impossible house You have made an impossible house You have made an impossible house
I seen your black limousine Rolling slowly through the alley All long and shiny and mean With a license plate that just says ‘NSTY’
You have made an impossible house You have made an impossible house You have made an impossible house You have made an impossible house
