Dark Neon
I was sitting safely across the road
From a rusting scaffolding picking my nose
When a bird spoke up from high on that dark neon
He said, "I bet there're some things that you should come clean up"
Oh, I didn't know
Oh where to begin
Like you do not know
Oh, I set the emotion
I was beating up babies, babies I mean
That don't look like babies, but they're babies to me
I was looking around for my very own best friend
Couldn't help feeling things would come to an end
I always let you go
And then you let me back in
This is a status quo
Oh, nobody wins, oh
I was feeling sorry
So sorry for myself
I was trying to take it easy, but that wasn't helping
Bird spoke up, this time I think it was a dove
He said, "I bet there're some things that you should come clean up"
Oh, that's so, it's so
Oh, you look through my skin
Oh, how did he know?
Oh, and what was he in?
I keep fooling myself
Keep fooling myself
Keep fooling myself
I keep fooling myself
I might need your help
I keep fooling myself
I might need your help
I can't just keep fooling myself
I let you go
Hon, you let me back in
It's the status quo
And nobody wins
Oh
From a rusting scaffolding picking my nose
When a bird spoke up from high on that dark neon
He said, "I bet there're some things that you should come clean up"
Oh, I didn't know
Oh where to begin
Like you do not know
Oh, I set the emotion
I was beating up babies, babies I mean
That don't look like babies, but they're babies to me
I was looking around for my very own best friend
Couldn't help feeling things would come to an end
I always let you go
And then you let me back in
This is a status quo
Oh, nobody wins, oh
I was feeling sorry
So sorry for myself
I was trying to take it easy, but that wasn't helping
Bird spoke up, this time I think it was a dove
He said, "I bet there're some things that you should come clean up"
Oh, that's so, it's so
Oh, you look through my skin
Oh, how did he know?
Oh, and what was he in?
I keep fooling myself
Keep fooling myself
Keep fooling myself
I keep fooling myself
I might need your help
I keep fooling myself
I might need your help
I can't just keep fooling myself
I let you go
Hon, you let me back in
It's the status quo
And nobody wins
Oh
