Little Dark Age

Breathing in the dark
Lying on its side

The ruins of the day
Painted with a scar
And the more I straighten out
The less it wants to try

The feelings start to rot
One wink at a time

Oh oh
Forgiving who you are
For what you stand to gain
Just know that if you hide
It doesn't go away

When you get out of bed
Don't end up stranded
Horrified with each stone
On the stage
My little dark age

Picking through the cards
Knowing what's nearby

The carvings on the face
Say they find it hard
And the engine's failed again
All limits of disguise

The humor's not the same
Coming from denial

Oh oh
I grieve in stereo
The stereo sounds strange
I know that if you hide
It doesn't go away

If you get out of bed
And find me standing all alone
Open-eyed
Burn the page
My little dark age

I grieve in stereo
The stereo sounds strange
You know that if it hides
It doesn't go away

If I get out of bed
You'll see me standing all alone
Horrified
On the stage
My little dark age

Giddy with delight
Seeing what's to come

The image of the dead
Dead ends in my mind

Policemen swear to God
Love's seeping from the guns
I know my friends and I
Would probably turn and run

If you get out of bed
Come find us heading for the bridge
Bring a stone
All the rage
My little dark age

I grieve in stereo
The stereo sounds strange
I know that if you hide
It doesn't go away

If you get out of bed
And find me standing all alone
Open-eyed
Burn the page
My little dark age

All alone
Open-eyed
Burn the page
My little dark age
