[Verse] There’s a new moon on a broken watch And the smoke is pouring out of me Tired of fightin’ battles that can’t be won My body is my own enemy Half the shadow of a man Shallow as the water in a saucepan We live our lives just to die someday I feel like I’ve been dead for twenty years [Chorus] Why are my eyes still closed tonight And why do my hands smell of soap? When my blood is black and burns with rage And every cut still bleeds with hope [Verse 2] I went to a goddamn wedding in a rented suit I wanted to tell them “This is just a dream” He had such sad eyes as he kissed the bride Said “It’s not a crime to live unfree” I said “Love I am just a fool” Looked in the mirror Saw the donkey ears and hooves We live our lives just to die someday And I wish I could say that I didn’t mean it [Chorus] Why are my eyes still closed tonight And why do my hands smell of soap? When my blood is black and burns with rage And every cut still bleeds with hope
