Chaos and Clothes

Lyrics

The ground was wet and the sky was dark
 And you took her bet, and she took your heart
 Wrapped it 'round an oak tree, like you did that '67 GTO
 Oh no
 But lovers leave chaos and clothes
 In quiet corners where you rarely ever go
 One day you find proof that she was real, despite your struggle to forget
 Oh yes
 You're in a fight to the death my friend
 Black metal t-shirts your shield
 You've got the past on your breath my friend
 Now name all the monsters you've killed
 Let's name all the monsters you've killed
 The man she chose to take your place
 Turns his collar up to better frame his face
 How you'd love to hate her, but you just can't hate somebody you don't know
 Oh no
 Did she leave a trail of crumbs
 So you could find her when you're what you could become?
 Or did she know you well enough to realize that garden just won't grow?
 Oh no
 You're in a fight to the death my friend
 Airwaves a grand battlefield
 You've got your past on your breath my friend
 Now name all the monsters you've killed
 Let's name all the monsters you've killed
 ♪
 In my sleep I build machines
 But nobody ever wants to hear about my dreams
 Last night I saw a burning Ferris Wheel, the meaning's anybody's guess
 Oh yes
 Lovers leave chaos and clothes
 More debris that you can sort through in one go
 You say love is hell, but it's the ghost of love that's made you such a mess
 Oh yes
 You're in a fight to the death my friend
 Fight like you're chained to the wheel
 You've got the past on your breath my friend
 Now name all the monsters you've killed
 Let's name all the monsters you've killed
