i tried to cross a bridge today
i tell you man there aint no way to change
so i paid someone to lead me through
mapped it out from me to you
in a way, it's cruel

a crosseyed mess led me from the flames into the dark
our empty smiles keep us from completely falling apart
but somewhere inside me there's a jealous mind
and i want it out of my head

we keep handing out our gifts
a gilded age keeps our hearts stiff
and apart

but what about our flesh and blood?
the product of our young love
is here to stay

a crosseyed mess led me from the flames into the dark
our empty promises keep us from bearing our hearts
but somewhere inside me there's a jealous mind
and i want it out of my head
i want it out of my head
