   Was that somebody screaming it wasn't me for sure
  o o
 
 
   I lift my head up from uneasy pillows put my feet on the floor
 
   cut my wrist on a bad thought and head for the door
 
   outside on the pavement the dark makes no noise
 
   I can feel the sweat on my lips leaking into my mouth
  o o
 
   I'm heading out for the steep hills they're leaving me no..
o---o-o-o o o o
 
 
 
 
 
 
 cho..ice  and see........ as our lives are in the ma...king
 
 
 
 we  belie........ve  through the lies and the hating
,---3---,
  o
 
 
 
 
 
 that  love goes free
  -9
   for want of an option I run the wind 'round
 
   I dream pictures of houses burning never knowing nothing else to do
 o o
 
   with death comes the morning unannounced and new
 
   was it too much to ask for to pull a little weight
 
   they forgive anything but greatness these are scoundrel days
  o--o
 
 
   and I'm close to calling out their names as pride hits my fa..ce
o-----o
 
 
 
   yeeheehee  and see........ as our lives are in the ma...king
 
 
 
 
 
  we  belie.......ve through the lies and the hating
  (uoh no!)

 ah  ah
 
   I reach the edge of town I've got blood in my hair
 
   their hands touch my body from everywhere
  o o
 
 
 
   but I know that I've made it as I run into the air
 o o
   hmeah yeah
 
 
 
 and  see........  as our lives are in the ma...king

 it  wasn't rain that washed away rinsed out the colours of your eyes
 
 
 putting  the gun down on the bedside table I must have realized

 wasn't  me yet I  did it all so coldly almost slowly

   I've been losing you hm
 
 
 
   I can still hear our screams competing you're hissing your s's
 
 
 like  a snake now in the mirror stands half a man I thought no one could
 
 
 
 break  it wasn't the rain that made no difference nervously drumming on:
 
 "Run  away!" but I want  the guilt to get me thoughts to wreck me
o---------d
 
 preying  on my  mind so please now  talk to me
