Putting A Face To The Disaster
Feel your laughter like a hammer
Breaking down a wall made of paper
Weaker than dive bar rum
What you thought was a party
Became your own private little catastrophe
Have no patience for deviations
From the truth, from the promises
Lose your grip there for a minute?
Was this the mistake you were hoping for?
It really was nothing special
Just another flawed attempt at being reasonable
In the face of obvious unbalance
Build a bonfire of wooden platitudes
Sacrifice your dignity in the night
Cut your foot on a blade of grass
To prove how sensitive you are
Well, the jury isn't buying the story
They've heard it all before
Time to pay the Piper
Yeah, the Piper is wantin' his due
You've been one to call the tune
But the Piper is wantin' his due
Too late to beg for mercy
No ears will bend for that
Your tears could fill the Grand Canyon
Maybe time to buy a yacht
Seventy-two monthly payments
Not a bad price to pay for the chance
To diminish the memory
Oh, what I wouldn't do
Back-flip off the Burj Khalifa
To diminish the memory of you
Have no patience for deviations
From the truth, from the promises
Lose your grip there for a minute?
Was this the mistake you were hoping for?
