Take the pain until it all rings hollow
We learn to loathe the [bad word] as it shines
I already see a ghost on the sidewalk
Kissing in the hereafter

And your hands are in your pockets as you face her
And your bodies both frozen by the door
Only one knows they're watching you die
They're there from hereafter

Young life [bad word] each young love
If anything, life is for somebody else
You can hardly live it for yourself
And the man you love just doesn't
Know who, just what he's after

Chances are you wouldn't even
Recognize the man I am now
Chances are you wouldn't even
Recognize the man I am now
Chances are you wouldn't even
Recognize the man I am now

He'll make up any excuse
To wear the reins you can't control
The knife wanders through me so slow
It cuts between us as we grow
Ooooh

***
That's all. That's all it is.
