They say true understanding only comes when you’re alone Well, here you’ll find me standing lacerated to the bone I’m lacerated to the bone I never learn from my mistakes I should have kept my distance, should have left well enough alone And now I watch you feed me the last remnants of my soul I’m lacerated to the bone I never learn from my mistakes From your mouth, your words escape, from the ground, you walk away I’m lacerated to the bone I crawl across this concrete floor I hear me say, “I should have known I’ve seen this happen all before” I’m breathing in this vacant hole where no one comes and no one knows I should have seen the weeping walls and closed my ears to desperate thoughts and now I’m breathing in this hole, a strange corner far from hope A headcrush man with hopeless fears I should have known to leave this place this bitter air this vacant space I should have left without a trace I should have run when you touched me, a perfect touch laced with defeat, a single touch to make me weak You’re listening to a dead man speak I never learned from my mistakes You’re listening to a dead man speak I never learned from my mistakes You’re listening to a dead man speak. (I should have fuckin’ known) You’re listening to a dead man speak You’re listening to a dead man speak You’re listening to a dead man speak You’re listening to a dead man speak You’re listening to a dead man speak You’re listening to a dead man speak You’re listening to a dead man speak You’re listening to a dead man speak
