Lyrics (unofficial)

[rev. Sept. 15, 2013]

I got a thorn in my side
What you do
Spreading this ruin

I've got a Jekyll and Hyde
There was no where
To be bathed with a tune

To reveal everything
Well the things you do
I said baby we belong
All the time that you blew

And when all this world has turned it's ugly back on you
You stand before me like a childhood law

Well I said maybe
She's a real gone lady
Talks in toxic slang

I try to take it home
Now it's covered in foam
Now a lover's bang

I try to walk away baby
She said "Where are you going honey
You look so fine"

I try to open my eyes
It's no surprise
I can't divine

I couldn't see it
I couldn't be it
I couldn't even take a swing

I couldn't free it
I couldn't be it
All I could do was sing

And even though the world has turned it's ugly back on you
You stand before me like a childhood law

Now please don't try to get even
Now come on there Steven
I couldn't collect
I wouldn't count on it

I couldn't take your advice
Who am I? Oh wow
I guess I know
I shoulda

She took me down so slow
I was never to know
I would never connect
Or would I

I couldn't even say
If it was today
Or some other time

I try to go home
I try to stay out
I try to sing
I try to shout it out

I try to warn the morning about night
Now I'm sitting here
In the middle of a fright

And when all this world has turned it's ugly back on you
You stand before me like a childhood law
