I'm playing the game with earthquakes around me
Shaking my novice heart
The pieces have have fallen, we've all forgotten

Where we're supposed to start

Well, you've got the guns and I've got the money

Maybe we should make a stand
We'll use the confusion, break all the rules
And win it with a losing hand


What I found was painfully enlightening
Like a shot, right between my eyes

Cos it hurts trying to do the right thing
When the monsters are all on your side


So I'm dancing on ashes, drinking and giddy
High as a silver swan
You got the guts and I got the glory

How could anything go wrong

Well one day you left me lost in the rubble

Tapping out an S.O.S.
The higher you drift, the swifter you crumble
Crushed by your own success


Now what I found was painfully enlightening
Like a shot right between my eyes

Cos it hurts just trying to do the right thing
When the monsters are all on your side


Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Could you ease this hunger

Why do I even wonder

Still alive the quiet morning after

The night, the night I should have died
And I can't believe I've got my absolution
Only to find I slept through half my life


So I'd like to thank you for your kindness
When you bled and severed all our ties

Now my friends drag me from the ashes
Of the monsters on my side
On my side
