With baited breath she says that she's leaving She says that she's skipping town If I were there asleep in the passenger seat breathing the same air If I could care how many witnesses could possibly believe Well I don't know Is she going crazy or am I the only one Just drop the bravado and go buy a gun Why are you still here We're lying through the night about our greatest fears Her body is a marionette She's blacked out past the point of regret She's singing why am I still here Why am I so feared She slips off her dress and says that she's leaping She says that she wont be found Ascending the stairs She looks like she's dead asleep She looks like she's been ensnared The trap was set for someone else The trap was set for me but I wont know I wont know what hit me Is she going crazy or am I the only one Just drop the bravado and go buy a gun Why are you still here We're lying through the night about our greatest fears Her body is a marionette She's blacked out past the point of regret She's singing why am I still here Why am I so feared She's so beautiful when you finish your cup So terrible in your conscience when you wake up You've done nothing wrong I think you might have Her body is a marionette She's blacked out past the point of regret She says that she's done nothing wrong I think she might have You think that you've done nothing wrong I think you might have Her body is a marionette She's blacked out past the point of regret She's singing why am I still here Why am I still here Is she going crazy or am I the only one Just drop the bravado and go buy a gun Why am I still here

My friend was with your friend in my friend's car It was the first half of the second floor when you took charge Had the best half of two girls far away from home but I've got nothing now, nothing now I think it was a dream I think I woke up with a weight on my chest heavy as a dead man's bullet proof vest I know it's not healthy I know you're not helping I can't be in ten I must be in twenty places at once I can have twenty faces at once Get yourself to work it isn't far Get yourself through college with no car Make it out to shows and the bars, yeah You've got to take her to the back, man Keep her on the backburner Just keep her on the back burner She's never coming back Do you ever get the feeling, like you're being watched I bet you like it, I bet you let them hear you talk so when I'm sleeping our frequencies could cross I'll say it sounds good, I'll hear a high pitch that no one else hears, and I wont like this I wont know what it means but I, I'll think about us
