Bells on a Leper

Throw me down a well
And cover me with stones
Stick words in my mouth
I'll tell you what you already know
I went lookin' for a map and I got lost
Pumpin' blood to a dead heart

Heaven knows
But hell knows better
I wear my heart like bells on a leper

I bit the hand that had to bury you
Teething on the past I just never out-grew
Yesterday is a petting zoo
We keep alive what you lose

Heaven knows
But hell knows better
I wear my heart like bells on a leper

I'd like to be surprised but I been here before
I 'd like to open my eyes but I would just get bored
I'd like to be surprised but I been here before
I'd like to open my eyes but I would just get bored
I would just get bored
I would just get bored

String a trail of lead through the labyrinth
Where everything I said is sugar in your absinthe
Slashin' at these wrists that killed at war with the windmills

Heaven knows
But hell knows better
Mm mm-ahh
Asylum windows are only painted shut
We can sleep in
But you can't sneak out until you've had enough
And I have had enough

Heaven knows
But hell knows better
I wear my heart like bells on a leper
Snapped is the one
And so I disappear
All my hope is gone
We'll meet again somewhere
We'll meet again somewhere
