The One Who Got Away
You can keep on running
But you can't outrun yourself
Sippin' pints of sulfur
Holy ghosts inside their shell
Some swallowed stolen stories
Some followed you to hell
Some qualities redeemed
Some lies tongues cannot tell, and
I'll smoke half a cigarette
I'll save a drag for you
I'll share a happy memory
And I'll pretend it's true
A sorry silhouette
A story come unglued
What if we see the sun for what it is
A hole we all fall through?
A hole we all fall through
And now you're haunting all of us
Final bow upon the stage
Some spit upon your memory
As they throw flowers on your grave
God is dead and heaven's heavy
With the ones we couldn't save
Another fine performance
From the One Who Got Away
I'll smoke half a cigarette
I'll save a drag for you
I'll share a happy memory
And I'll pretend it's true
A sorry silhouette
A story come unglued
What if we see the sun for what it is
A hole we all fall through?
A hole we all fall through
You wanted a show
But nobody came
You wanted to know
But the memories fade
A message decieved
A message delayed
Just text in the ether
And now it's too late
Too late
Too late
I'll smoke half a cigarette
I'll save a drag for you
I'll share a happy memory
And we'll all pretend it's true
A sorry silhouette
A story come unglued
What if we see the sun for what it is
A hole we all fall
And we all fall
And we all fall
And we all fall
And we all fall
And we all fall
And we all fall
And we all fall through
But you can't outrun yourself
Sippin' pints of sulfur
Holy ghosts inside their shell
Some swallowed stolen stories
Some followed you to hell
Some qualities redeemed
Some lies tongues cannot tell, and
I'll smoke half a cigarette
I'll save a drag for you
I'll share a happy memory
And I'll pretend it's true
A sorry silhouette
A story come unglued
What if we see the sun for what it is
A hole we all fall through?
A hole we all fall through
And now you're haunting all of us
Final bow upon the stage
Some spit upon your memory
As they throw flowers on your grave
God is dead and heaven's heavy
With the ones we couldn't save
Another fine performance
From the One Who Got Away
I'll smoke half a cigarette
I'll save a drag for you
I'll share a happy memory
And I'll pretend it's true
A sorry silhouette
A story come unglued
What if we see the sun for what it is
A hole we all fall through?
A hole we all fall through
You wanted a show
But nobody came
You wanted to know
But the memories fade
A message decieved
A message delayed
Just text in the ether
And now it's too late
Too late
Too late
I'll smoke half a cigarette
I'll save a drag for you
I'll share a happy memory
And we'll all pretend it's true
A sorry silhouette
A story come unglued
What if we see the sun for what it is
A hole we all fall
And we all fall
And we all fall
And we all fall
And we all fall
And we all fall
And we all fall
And we all fall through
