[Verse 1]
We were doomed from the start as starters are
Why am I doing this?
Digging my own grave though it's shallow, I would lie in it
Work down in the basement in the dark after we crash your car
Hoping fast that the arrow hits the mark so you know who we are

Please keep the reporters at bay
This is a matter of life and death
But I deal with things like this every day
Please keep the reporters at bay
You never do what I tell you to
You never do what I say

[Chorus]
We've been hurting a long time trying hard for this
We all have sizable scars, we got it
You'd break it all apart, we got it
We can make it work like this, like this, like this

[Verse 2]
Yes we are a bullet in the heart and the message sent
Always dragging your feet over sand and over hot cement
Make a list of your favorites, write it down, make it legible
A problem we're always facing, we never rest
You either push or pull
Please keep the crowd under control
This is a matter of life and death and we're not prepared
I just want you to know
Please keep the crowd under control
This is the weight of my conscience
This is our all time low

[Chorus]

I see my baby
She's starry eyed
I feel my bones break all the time
I see my baby
She's starry eyed
She follows
Don't call me a god

I see my baby
She's starry eyed
I feel my bones break all the time
I see my baby
She's starry eyed
She follows
Don't call me a unkind

[Chorus X2]
