I'm sure it's easier on your heart
If you pretend like you don't have one
You promised this family would not repeat
And yet he's come undone
Your fist extends from your body
Like the bullet from a loaded gun
Every time she looks me in the eyes
All I do is up and run

I think that all you've taught me
Is how to bite my tongue
I think it's time I said I'm done
And cut and run
I think that all you've taught me
Is how to hold my tongue
I think it's time I said I'm done
And cut and run

Why do you hold me by my feet
To watch me dangle
Like I'm your nephilim
Or fallen angel
I know that genius is just a
Masochistic enterprise
Don't you get tired of being admired
In paradise

I think that all you've taught me
Is how to bite my tongue
I think it's time I said I'm done
And cut and run
I think that all you've taught me
Is how to bite my tongue
I think it's time I said I'm done
And cut and run

I don't know why love has
To feel like going mute
I don't know why he had
To paint her in the nude
I don't know why love has
To feel like going mute
I don't know why he had
To paint her in the nude
