Pochette Roulette: You said normal girls were boring, but you were gone by the morning

This is Gospel for the fallen ones

Locked away in permanent slumber

Assembling their philosophies

From pieces of broken memories

Oh Woah-oh

(This is the beat of my heart This is the beat of my heart)

Oh Woah-oh

(This is the beat of my heart This is the beat of my heart)

The gnashing teeth and criminal tounges

Conspire against the odds

But they haven't seen the best of us yet

If you love me let me go

Cause these words are knives that often leave scars

The fear of falling apart

And truth be told I never was yours

The fear, the fear of falling apart

This is Gospel for the vagabonds

Ne'er-do-wells and insufferable bastards

Confessing their apostasies

Led away by imperfect impostors

Oh Woah-oh

(This is the beat of my heart This is the beat of my heart)

Oh Woah-oh

(This is the beat of my heart This is the beat of my heart)

Don't try to sleep through the end of the world

And bury me alive

Cause I won't give up without a fight

If you love me let me go

Cause these words are knives that often leave scars

The fear of falling apart

And truth be told I never was yours

The fear, the fear of falling apart

The fear of falling apart

The fear, the fear of falling apart

(This is the beat of my heart This is the beat of my heart)

The fear of falling apart

(This is the beat of my heart This is the beat of my heart)

The fear of falling apart

(This is the beat of my heart This is the beat of my heart)

The fear of falling apart

(This is the beat of my heart This is the beat of my heart)

The fear of falling apart

In the real dark night of the soul

It's always 3 a.m

It's always darkest before the dawn comes

It never dawned on me

At my weakest I'm pretending to be strong

Sometimes the demons are too hard to control

(Chorus)

In my darkest moment

Something takes me over makes me turn a cold shoulder

In my darkest moment

I need a revalation, divine illumination to come my way

Just when I thought I was me

It just wasn't me t-talkin'

And the last one that I'd ever wanna hurt

Stood right in my way

Hating is easy and loving takes real character

Love ain't in fashion in this hard stone cold hearted world

Chorus

Was any of it true?

Gazing at me starry-eyed

In your Jehovah's Witness suit

Who the fuck was that guy?

You tried to buy some pills

From a friend of friends of mine

They just ghosted you

Now you know what it feels like

And I don't even want you back, I just want to know

If rusting my sparkling summer was the goal

And I don't miss what we had, but could someone give

A message to the smallest man who ever lived?

You hung me on your wall

Stabbed me with your push pins

In public, showed me off

Then sank in stoned oblivion

'Cause once your queen had come

You treat her like an also-ran

You didn't measure up

In any measure of a man

And I don't even want you back, I just want to know

If rusting my sparkling summer was the goal

And I don't miss what we had, but could someone give

A message to the smallest man who ever lived?

Were you sent by someone who wanted me dead?

Did you sleep with a gun underneath our bed?

Were you writing a book? Were you a sleeper cell spy?

In fifty years, will all this be declassified?

And you'll confess why you did it

And I'll say, "Good riddance"

'Cause it wasn't sexy once it wasn't forbidden

I would've died for your sins

Instead, I just died inside

And you deserve prison, but you won't get time

You'll slide into inboxes and slip through the bars

You crashed my party and your rental car

You said normal girls were boring

But you were gone by the morning

You kicked out the stage lights

But you're still performing

And in plain sight you hid

But you are what you did

And I'll forget you, but I'll never forgive

The smallest man who ever lived

Hello darkness, my old friend

I've come to talk with you again

Because a vision softly creeping

Left its seeds while I was sleeping

And the vision that was planted in my brain

Still remains

Within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone

Narrow streets of cobblestone

'Neath the halo of a street lamp

I turned my collar to the cold and damp

When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light

That split the night

And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw

Ten thousand people, maybe more

People talking without speaking

People hearing without listening

People writing songs that voices never share

No one dared

Disturb the sound of silence

"Fools" said I, "You do not know

Silence like a cancer grows

Hear my words that I might teach you

Take my arms that I might reach you"

But my words like silent raindrops fell

And echoed in the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed

To the neon god they made

And the sign flashed out its warning

In the words that it was forming

And the sign said, "The words of the prophets

Are written on the subway walls

And tenement halls

And whispered in the sounds of silence"

I tear my heart open—I sew myself shut

And my weakness is that I care too much

And my scars remind me that the past is real

I tear my heart open just to feel

I'm drunk and I'm feeling down

And I just want to be alone

I'm pissed 'cause you came around

Why don't you just go home?

'Cause I've channeled all your pain

And I can't help you fix yourself

You're making me insane

All I can say is:

I tear my heart open—I sew myself shut

And my weakness is that I care too much

And our scars remind us that the past is real

Tear my heart open just to feel

I tried to help you once

Against my own advice

I saw you goin' down

But you never realized

That you're drowning in the water

And I offered you my hand

Compassions in my nature

Tonight is our last stand

Oh, baby, this is goodbye (goodbye, goodbye), ooh-ooh

How did we end up awry? (Awry) ooh-ooh

Oh, baby, this is goodbye (goodbye, goodbye), ooh-ooh

You suffered for far too long

And now you're gone, I'm so lost

I know that you wonder

What happens down under

The bells ring, lava springs

I hope you don't suffer

Oh, baby, this is goodbye (goodbye, goodbye), ooh-ooh

How did we end up awry? (Awry, awry) ooh-ooh

Oh, baby, this is goodbye (goodbye, goodbye), ooh-ooh

You suffered for far too long

And now you're gone, I'm so lost

You told me that you loved me right from the start

You lied upon my heart, broke it apart

Why did I ever trust a man like you?

My heart's been used

I know that you wonder

And now you're gone, I'm so lost

You said normal girls were boring, but you were gone by the morning
