Sound and Useless Fury

Comfort is such a killing thing
A fishbone in my throat, won't quite make me choke
But when I run I start to feel myself heaving
I'm longing for a nightmare

I dreamed I was wild, but I'm mad and cracked
I hear the clock tick-ticking as it turns me back
But I have seen it, do not fear it
You know, I love to break my own heart

Darkness, irresistible, call to me
Oh, suck me in your energy
How can I try to tear myself free
When I'm drowned in sound and useless fury?

Domestic bliss, that couldn't be me
You know, this shit ain't cute when you're pushing 33
Look: in my defence I never thought
That I would be alive this long

My heart is a fortress, a brutal confine
A shrine to all of my mistakes, but my mistakes were mine
The pleasure of a perfect misstep
A crash from a height so great, it crushed me to glory

Darkness, irresistible, call to me
Oh, suck me in your energy
How can I try to tear myself free
When I'm drowned in sound and useless fury?

God help me make a brave escape
God help me make a brave escape
God help me make a brave escape
God help me make a brave escape

Life's too short not to rebel
But to pull free would be to flay myself
These rusty shackles of dailiness
Oh they're heavy but they hurt so good

Darkness, irresistible, call to me
Oh, suck me in your energy
How can I try to tear myself free
When I'm drowned in sound and useless fury?
