lyrics

Everybody wants to love something.
Everybody wants to mess something up.
Take something you love:
tear it down,
chew it up,
spit it out,
build it back up again.
Maybe you just like to watch the flames,
wishing they’d lick your lips and call you names.
Breaking made-up rules to made-up games:
we’re all insane.

Everybody wants to say something.
Some of the time you’ve got to shut up.
Sittin at the top of your head
spin ‘til it comes unthreaded,
wishin the tip of your tongue would get the hand of it.
I know it ain’t easy to be silent
when the ringing in your ears is so violent.
Sometimes you want to fight it.
Other times you want to ride it.

Got lots of time to kill me with kindness;
it’s no simple matter of mind over madness.

Everybody wants to fuck something.
Everybody wants to fuck something up.
Take something you love:
tear it down,
chew it up,
spit it out,
build it back up again.
Maybe you just like to watch the flames,
wishing they’d lick your lips and call you names.
Breaking made-up rules to made-up games:
we’re all insane.
