Shouting Matches

Night falls and I look out and I can't make out a thing
So I burned all my bridges down just to have something to see
You don't need to worry, darling,
I don't need to escape from this ever-growing
sadness that I can't help but create for myself, for myself

Well if I knew what was good for me, I'd open up the blinds.
I'd let the sun fill my room and I'd let it change my life
But you don't need to worry, darling, one day I'll be just fine
I'll stare right up into the sun until it burns right through my eyes

Is that what you want?
Is that what you wanted from me?
Is that what you want?
Is that what you needed to see?
Oh, if I see the beauty in everything then how am I to know
just what to sing when it all burns down and there's no one around?

Melancholy has always got me right where it wants
My voice is used for starting shouting matches with God
But you should start to worry, darling,
if you can't hear the sirens calling out through my broken promise
Didn't you ask me to be honest?

Is that what you want?
Is that what you wanted from me?
Is that what you want?
Is that what you needed to see?
Oh, if I see the beauty in everything then how am I to know
just what to sing when it all burns down and there's no one around?

And it all falls down, and it all falls down
I've been practicing the steps for when it all falls down again
When it all falls down
