lyrics

tried to tell my story hanging from a ceiling fan
tried to tell my story through the fists of a better man
now I'm back behind the eyes again

lived in the Parisian sewer and sang there undisturbed
lived inside the factory and got paid by the word
but it all rolled out much the same

I never once tried to hide it
I took a long weekend and I magnified it
I made no attempt to fight it
I took a shot in the arm and I amplified it

you walk along beside me and we make the same mistakes
but angels fly above you with replacements
for every part you break

is that how you stay so calm?
knowing that you're never gonna lose an arm?
is that how you sleep at night?
knowing that you're never gonna lose your sight?

I never once tried to hide it
I took a couple of weeks and I magnified it
I made no attempt to fight it
I took a kick in the shin and I amplified it

now I'm back behind the eyes again
now I'm back behind the eyes again
