When Bad News Gets Worse (Original Version)

(앨범: Closing Arguments - 2009)

This is not the way I saw anything happening
I'm only older, screaming over destiny tonight
Don't hear my laugh echoing through your jealousy
I just hear my voice, I just hear my voice

This is not the way I saw anything happening
We spent our summers hanging under flickering streetlights
Nowadays there's nothing on the radio
I just hear your voice, I just hear your voice

Honesty is haunting me
I dedicate this morning to my lies
And this clarity is clouding me
Let's drink to friends who left us far behind
Yeah let's drink to friends who left this all behind

I'd send my best if you would ever call me back
I made friends with snakes then I made love to my disguise
I don't have a chance, this song and dance will bury me
I don't have a choice, I don't have a choice

Honesty is haunting me
I dedicate this morning to my lies
And this clarity is clouding me
Let's drink to friends who left us far behind
Yeah let's drink to friends who left this all behind

And all I know, is enough to keep me guessing
This jaded world, reminds me of what I'm not
We sing along, in hopes of recognition
I guarantee that no one knows we're here

Not selling movie rights so think again
Not selling anything tonight
This whole place is filled with ornaments
Hollowed out and made to shine
If certainty is what you make of this
I certainly won't make believe
The calm before the storm is running strong
I just hear my voice, I just hear my voice
I just hear my voice

Honesty is haunting me
I dedicate this morning to my lies
And this clarity is clouding me
Let's drink to friends who left us far behind
Honesty is haunting me
I dedicate this morning to my lies
And this travesty is trapping me
Let's drink to friends who left us far behind
Yeah let's drink to friends who left this all behind
