lyrics

So? What do they know?
When they say you are fine
They've not had a singular feeling, trouble or emotion that didn't come bleeding straight out of their mouth
Why say a word when it's so teenage and naive to think you'd change if you tried
Like the dark is some mere sporting injury conspiring to spite you when you feel tired

I'd say anything to sell you that tired tortured poet crap
But when I took off my clothes you laughed and I guess I needed that.

I woke up sweating from a dream, I'd refereed a fight
Between tattered lungs, and a small dignity in quiet

Darkness, I look back fondly on our time
Things were much easier, when it was only you and I
Then happiness arrives and says "I've been out there, it's fine, just peel your eyes up from your navel for a while"

History threatened, to forget us
But I laughed at the thought it had ever remembered

Your mind is clear
Your eyes are shut
Your fingernails are bitten to the quick
What do you know?
