| Was that somebody screaming | |
| It wasn't me for sure | |
| I lift my head up from uneasy pillows | |
| Put my feet on the floor | |
| Cut my wrist on a bad thought | |
| And head for the door | |
| Outside on the pavement | |
| The dark makes no noise | |
| I can feel the sweat on my lips | |
| Leaking into my mouth | |
| I'm heading out for the steep hills | |
| They're leaving me no choice | |
| And see as our lives are in the making | |
| We believe through the lies and the hating | |
| That love goes free | |
| For want of an option | |
| I run the wind 'round | |
| I dream pictures of houses burning | |
| Never knowing nothing else to do | |
| And with death comes the morning | |
| Unannounced and new | |
| Was it too much to ask for | |
| To pull a little weight | |
| They forgive everything but greatness | |
| These are scoundrel days | |
| And I'm close to calling out their names | |
| As pride hits my face | |
| And see as our lives are in the making | |
| We believe through their lies and the hating | |
| That love goes free | |
| Through scoundrel days | |
| I reach the edge of town | |
| I've got blood in my hair | |
| Their hands touch my body | |
| From everywhere | |
| But I know that I've made it | |
| As I run into the air | |
| And see as our lives are in the making | |
| We believe through their lies and the hating | |
| That love goes free | |
| Through scoundrel days |
