By the Blues

She knew the second that she hit the floor
She broke a bone or two
And no one was around to comfort
Then she caught herself thinking
Your lying is the only thing I like about you

Cause every time you crawl back up
You try to make it better
You believe you've done this time
It's a huffin' and a puffin'
Till your head is full of nothing
And you still get torn to pieces
By the blues

Awkward feeling
Like a dog down kneeling
Won't you throw me a bone
For good old times, caress me faithfully

Lies keep on calling for a big commotion
Devolutionary mad machine
You know you need
To reset your rushed equation

Lies
Even those you know you fail to follow
Make a temporarily bright tomorrow
Forevermore
You count the countless hours
As they grind

She waited seven long seconds
Door was kicked in
And a shadow came across the floor
Up the wall across the ceiling
Dying is a lonely thing although you want to

Suddenly there's no way back you know
And you're up against the murky undertow
It's the stuffin' in the coffin
It'll free you from the nothing
But you still get torn to pieces
By the blues

Awkward feeling
Like a dog down kneeling
Won't you throw me a bone
For good old times, caress me faithfully

Lies keep on calling for a big commotion
Devolutionary mad machine
You know you need
To reset your rushed equation

Lies
Even those you know you fail to follow
Make a temporarily bright tomorrow
Forevermore
You count the countless hours
As they grind

Ooh, lies keep on calling for a big commotion
Devolutionary mad machine (mad machine)
You know you need
To reset your rushed equation

Lies
Even those you know you fail to follow (lies)
Make a temporarily bright tomorrow
Forevermore
You count the countless hours
As they grind
As they grind
As they grind
As they grind
