You don't lie to me
And for all of your POISON
I enjoy your company

All the colors that you had behind your mouth like poultry
As you slowly take me prisoner
I swallow up THE KEY


Don't go away
The quietly courageous

And WE OWN THE NIGHT
Naked and contagious
We turn off the lights

Oh, out here nobody hear us

No one is gonna love to see me

I drive around an Escalator down the Midwest
And I love the cruising but I don't stick out my best
Free inside the bars that were deep within my chest


Lying in smoke, how long before I knew you
I knew how to stand tall and how to breathe without you

And I spoke to THE DEAD before I learned how to hear them
You said lift me on my bed, watched me as I slept


And I felt safe and sound, leading with my confidence, I cut it down
With a sword of COMMON SENSE
And I took care of things, I loved to call my heart

What happened to these things?
It's like I woke up in my kitchen


No one is gonna love to see me
I drive around an Escalator down the Midwest
And I love the cruising but I don't stick out my best

Free inside the bars that were deep within my chest
