Intro

Verse

There she was

 Graciously making forever less terrifying

 And you've got the nerve

to intervene

 with a coloring book and a byro and a point to prove

 And now you want a word

Break

x2

Chorus

 And you washed all the wisdom out your mouth

 and the gas danced on the edge of your bottom lip

Quick to scurry back behind the night

 To avoid the silent fight and the struggle

Verse

There I was

 Panicking because someone else kissed me in a dream

 and it was on the cheek

And you stamp your feet

 and I'm moving from bored to appalled by these poignant fumes

 that you must inflict

Chorus

And you washed all the wisdom out your mouth

 and the gas danced on the edge of your bottom lip

 Someone told me that that stench was called advice

 Someone told me that that stench was called advice

Break

Verse

Took a solid breath

To a little rip

 I've got to carry your broach to cover that hideous stitch

 All that grim repair

and we're all upset

See the fear in your cheeks

 and I still smell the lies on your breath

 And your jokes don't bounce

 and you've entered the early stages of bitterness

Solo

x4

Chorus

 And you washed all the wisdom out your mouth

 and the gas danced on the edge of your bottom lip

Quick to scurry back behind the night

To avoid the silent fight and the struggle

To avoid the silent fight and the struggle

To avoid the silent fight and the struggle
