lyrics

Dog gone mad
But my room is tidy
Face this bad
Leave the world behind me
Stay awake
As The Lord decided
He just likes all things divided

Cat gone out
Was the last instruction
Tour this route
In my wake destruction
Between us: have I ever said
I truly wanted this, I truly wanted this

And as the lights go out I quickly mace the faces blind
And while the night goes on I leave the traces they won't find
And then I ask the tourist: "will there be another night
Or will I die again?"
But then perhaps in all this wicked blindness we provide
It's just the mess we made

Stay behind
I'll do it single handed
Stay behind
I am the independent
If they want to know
In this struck for fame
You'll know the details of my body

Dog gone mad
Strap it to my body
Take the back
Leave the pain in the lobby
Between us: have I ever said
I truly wanted this, I truly wanted this

And as the lights go out I quickly mace the faces blind
And while the night goes on I leave the traces they won't find
And then I ask the tourist: "will there be another night
Or will I die again?"
And as the lights go out I quickly mace the faces blind
And while the night goes on I leave the traces they won't find
And then perhaps in all this wicked blindness we provide
It's just a mess we made

And as the lights go out I quickly mace the faces blind
And while the night goes on I leave the traces they won't find
But then I ask the tourist: "will there be another night
Or will I die again?"
And as the lights go out I quickly mace the faces blind
And while the night goes on I leave the traces they won't find
But then perhaps in all this wicked blindness we provide
It's just the mess we made
