Disposition

It was a quarter to three when they brought him to me
I turned to you hoping to change how it oughta be
But you did not intervene, denied having seen
Anything and now he has to pay the fee

He should've stood still, he should've breathed air today
Instead he woke up, instead he dreamed of his grave

Now I'll cut him out, let him bleed to the floor
Mop it up, then stitch it back like I've done before
All the writing in ink, this man at the brink
Just waiting for the day he could be clean

"He should've stood still, he should've breathed air" they'll say
Instead he woke up, instead he dreamed of his grave

No he won't follow, it's in his bones
This man is hollow, there is no soul
And I can't say it, the things he wrote
Would you please listen?
Why won't you listen?
Why won't you listen?

Now it's night after night he starts to fight for his life
He can feel broken pieces falling inside
All the things that they do to try and feel true
He is tempted, but it's not the same as you

No I don't know why I feel your life slipping away from mine
No I don't know why I feel my line out of time

No I won't follow, it's in my bones
'Cause I am hollow, I have no soul
And I can't say it, the things I wrote
Would you please listen?
Why won't you listen?

La-da-da-da-da-da-da, La-da-da
Why won't you listen?
La-da-da-da-da-da-da, La-da-da
My disposition
La-da-da-da-da-da-da, La-da-da
Why won't you listen?
La-da-da-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da-da

But I would walk with you out to your car tonight
If you would stay right here, you don't need to make your flight
Oh, I will walk with you out to your car tonight
But you should stay with me, lay down your arms, give up this fight

No we won't follow, it's in our bones
'Cause we're all hollow, we have no soul
And I can't say it, the things we wrote
Would you please listen?
Why won't you listen?

La-da-da-da-da-da-da, La-da-da
Why won't you listen?
La-da-da-da-da-da-da, La-da-da
My disposition
La-da-da-da-da-da-da, La-da-da
Why won't you listen?
La-da-da-da-da-da-da, La-da-da
The disposition
