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.
