Cry About It Anyway - The Great Masquerade
I know it takes two but only I'm left in Essex
I had no control over how this doomed crusade ended
I guess having half a heart wasn't for the open minded
I turned the safety off, left the wound of a scar that never bled
When a good soul pulls the trigger
The bullet goes through quicker
I'll never know the element of distance
But I'd cry about it anyway
All of my cold repulsions
Magnetic interference
Was my element of distance
But I cried about it anyway
They know I love my liquor
Nobody'll love me bitter
This push and pull
Poisons the lust I conjured
They call this love, "disaster"
I'll cry about it later
I'll take all I wish I could say
To the dungeons in my chateau
A figure hugs me unprovoked in the shadow of a corner
Says "You can unburden half the eyes on you if you undress faster"
I can tell that the mystery had you surrounded
You suffocated in the stampede of your assumptions
When a good soul pulls the trigger
The bullet goes through quicker
I'll never know the element of distance
But I'd cry about it anyway
I knew it was all over
When the old guard disappeared
I'll never know the element of distance
But I'd cry about it anyway
"Give me half your scandals
Your parents think you're mental
The weight of your decisions
Will sink their mantel"
I picked the petals wrong
Now you're forever gone
Faithless in a town touched by God
I might just find new religion
You left with the better liquor
You'll be my muse forever
You keep your winters warm every day
But I'd cry about it anyway
My blue blood now runs purple
Left with a macabre scandal
The element of distance never betrays
But I'd cry about it anyway.
