Much Ado About Nothing

I throw it in the right direction, please don't look my way
You stare directly in my eyes 'cause you are brave
You drive around in circles talking yourself out of rushing
And I sit alone and wait so patient, much ado about nothing

Always the easiest to love and hardest to claim
Knock down everyone else around me and shout out my name
My pride is snapping like a branch shouting at my brain
My friends are making their assumptions, I was just looking for pain

Oh, no, I'm down and out, I'm tragically amiss
Tell you I'm undefeated, I'm not worth following
Oh, no, I've lost my mind, I've lost my mind again
Tell you I'm razor sharp, I'm terrifying

I call somebody, anybody, chasing off my dread
I watch the yellow roses die, a symbolic death
I watch the sky fill up with shapes I cannot explain
I tell you every passing thought, I was just looking for pain

Oh, no, the earth is moving, the groundwork's compromised
Tell you to lose my number, and then I call you twice
Oh, no, it's getting dark, everyone's eyes on me
Light me up with one spark, relish the anarchy

Yeah, I leave every light on, hunting bygones
Play it off like I'm cynical, but I sweat and I swear
Say a prayer, stare at your picture
It's visceral

And it's crushing
Much ado about nothing
Much ado about nothing
