Broken Toys

You’re a dangerous idiot, are you blind? You’re a dangerous idiot it’s a crime
And the world kicked you around, so someone had to pay
And you looked around & I got in the way
You’re a dangerous idiot
And I drew a line in the sand & you brushed it aside with a cruel little hand
And said baby it’s not that easy
And you howled of a debt that no one ever agreed to yet
And you sat with remains like a child with a broken toy
Why doesn’t it work anymore? Why doesn’t it work anymore?
Some things you can’t catch without killing
You’re a dangerous idiot
Oh why'd you think that I was home, I should've left you there all alone
And all the lessons that I learned through all the beatings that I earned,
while I sat at your table
You play with fire you get burned, and it’s only now that I’ve learned
Always run while you’re able
And the world kicked you around, so someone had to pay
And you looked around & I got in the way

Distant Choir

We sing it high, sing it low, though the truth of it none of us really know
So, honey, meet me after the show, and a distant choir sings
That shining light on the hill, that we all climb & claw to until
We find the deepest love or the cheapest thrills
And a distant choir sing & a distant choir sings
Hope is lost, hope is found, as the sun dies, we all spin around
Til the whole lot just hits the ground & a distant choir sings
You can see it in their eyes, bitter souls selling paradise
touch easy money, speak easy lies
And a distant choir sings & a distant choir sings
And we all come up empty at a loss, no one beats the wrap, we all pay the cost
So hold each other tight while this vessel beats the frost
And a distant choir sings & a distant choir sing
And a distant choir sings
