Lyrics
This little light of mine
She got the kind of eyes
That make all the men realize
Even leave them to theorize
On where all of these feelings lie.
Digging down in their souls
Into the caverns where anyone outside never goes
And into the thoughts that no one knows unless you say 'em.
A little risqué because others can foul play 'em.
And whittle away 'em 'til they nothing like you intended
Sick of leaving it open ended.
The good things don't seem to last.
The ties that bind turn into chains.
Your breath still fogs up the glass.
Blot out the sun, bring on the rain.
Chorus:
When you said "we'd last forever", who knew you really meant never?
You may have changed, but your picture remains the same
You told a story
I'm just trying to write your conclusion
Help you out your seclusion.
Shatter all the illusions
Delusions and the confusions
Surrounding your good name
But the shadows I overcame
Would never leave me to claim
That ever I was the perfect man,
we all got pain.
You running through my mind
Got me going insane
Like I'm on that Brain Drain
I cannot fix you
I'm addicted
But I cannot quit you
You made right all these wrongs, you were my world, my everything
You made me write all these songs, even the one's I'll never sing.
Chorus
And it kills me inside
There's nothing more I can do for you now.
I'm slowly watching you die
Before my eyes.
It's going down like the NASDAQ
Knee deep, I'm going in with a hazmat.
Surrounded by these fat cats.
Give 'em a real swift kick in the ass crack.
EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE the competition.
I ain't a Dalek, this heart on my sleeve is my admission
If they all hurt you, than none of them deserve you
I made a promise that never I would desert you
And I will keep it for you, it's something I will not forget
But if what I hear is true, it's something I'll always regret
Chorus
