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, 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, 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
