I left your heart of glass in my unmade bed In the right time, you could shine so bright in my doubtful eyes And I imprint all your ideas on mine I move awkwardly at the speed of light Maybe it's easier to be afraid Drenched in tragedy, manmade And my compass is an antique But if I'm not back soon, don't come looking for me You can take it pretty far on a prayer that's pale and synthetic Bending my crowbar with tension that's telekinetic A paradox poetic, you get choked up reading the classics Your pride'll take a gluttonous bite A stupid question, I'd rather not ask it I take a sip of something I can barely taste Dull as dusk, with a skull and crossbones to bring us luck And I, I know that you can't read my mind I swear I said the same thing a hundred times Maybe it's harder than it should be Variations on a theme I could wear it right on my sleeve When an antagonist emerges, don't blame me You can take it pretty far on a prayer that's pale and synthetic Bending my crowbar with tension that's telekinetic A paradox poetic, you get choked up reading the classics Your pride'll take a gluttonous bite A stupid question, I'd rather not ask it A stupid question, I'd rather not ask it A stupid question, I'd rather not ask it
