Life chases fiction with contradiction. Pick yourself up, it's all right. Blood marks the pavement. So this is where I am. Well, stop the car and look around.
You, the candlelight and me. Are as peaceful as a moving train. You're as far as I can see. From the person that you once had been. . Trade the life you broke into.
The sun goes down, the lights go out. You go to sleep and dream about. What you wanna be when you're grown. . Every day they steal your prayers. You keep your secret hidden from them far away.
If I don't ask you for advice. Please don't give it to me. You tell me nothing's free. . Do the dogs biting at your heels. Have a deeper meaning. Listen, I'm sorry.

Sinking, while the water rises. In a stream. Helpless, as my indecision's. Drowning me. . Tripping, over things that I should. Clearly see. Speechless, when a word would save me.

Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey, yeah. . I shot a man the other day. The morning sun, it shined on me anyway. I took a breath and walked away. But I lost more than he could save.
So you come to see me now. When I'm trying to work it out. Say you sort of felt somehow. You wanna help. . So you spent some time alone. He didn't want you anyhow.
