lyrics

You make me wish I wasn't a poet
You make me want to be alone and homeless
We built this house with four strong hands
And you would be the hurricane to level this proud land

There are several things you'll never know about me
Like what I sound like when I'm asleep
Or the look on my face when I'm on my knees
And trying to, trying to, trying to please

And every choice I make is the wrong one
I don't want to have to be the strong one
And what is the piper going to say
When it's time, when it's time, when it's time to pay

Wherever you go I will be haunted
But I will lay low
I'll harness my heart and leave it at home
I know where I belong
And maybe I'll be absolved in time
But that decision isn't mine
I am what I say, you see what I am
A demon with a halo in her hand

We'll walk through these rooms as thick as thieves
All the while they're burning us in effigy
It's not what we do, but what we represent
And someone's gonna, someone's gonna have to repent

I can convince myself I don't need you
And I'll be fine until I see you
But no distraction in the world could save me then
Will my history repeat itself all over again

Wherever you go I will be haunted
But I will lay low
I'll harness my heart and leave it at home
I know where I belong
And sometimes the truth makes it so much worse
And someone, everyone gets hurt
If I stayed away, if I saw you and ran
I would always be on the lam

On the lam
On the lam from you
Isn't that what you told me to do?
