[Verse 1]
I left your heart of glass in my unmade bed
In the right time, you could shine so bright in my doubtful eyes
And I imprint all your ideas on mine
I move awkwardly at the speed of light

[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe it's easier to be afraid
Drenched in tragedy, man-made
And my compass is an antique
But if I'm not back soon
Don't come looking for me

[Chorus]
You can take it pretty far on a prayer that's pale and synthetic
Bending my crowbar with tension that's telekinetic
A paradox poetic, you get choked up reading the classics
Your pride'll take a gluttonous bite, a stupid question, I'd rather not ask it

[Verse 2]
I take a sip of something I can barely taste
Dull as dusk, with a skull and crossbones to bring us luck
And I, I know that you can't read my mind
I swear I said the same thing a hundred times

[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe it's harder than it should be
Variations on a theme
I could wear it right on my sleeve
When an antagonist emerges, don't blame me
[Chorus]
You can take it pretty far on a prayer that's pale and synthetic
Bending my crowbar with tension that's telekinetic
A paradox poetic, you get choked up reading the classics
Your pride'll take a gluttonous bite, a stupid question, I'd rather not ask it

[Outro]
A stupid question, I'd rather not ask it
A stupid question, I'd rather not ask it
