I wake up screaming for my kingdom's crown The thorns bring my life into focus I watch till the last name rolls up to the sky In the theater of my mind Is this all a dream? Did your grandmother scream As she saw your body breaking? A friend of a friend broke my heart in the end Of a story that I swear just can't be The one who smashed you wore the face of my friend And I just can't let it go It's over, we're through Throw salt on the wound As I make my escape Is this all a dream? Did your grandmother scream As she saw your body breaking? A friend of a friend broke my heart in the end Of a story that I swear just can't be Unfolded grey and black and white Reads blue and white and red all over A single shot around the world and Watch my head get drawn and quartered Read the right side and you're cold and apathetic On the left, you'll find my bleeding heart and me So am I wasting all my time I didn't do the crime after all After all Can't you make this water any hotter? Can't you make this water any hotter? I don't think you understand This won't quite penetrate my skin I need to bleach away the pain It's not my fault but anyway I just don't think you understand This won't quite penetrate my skin I need to bleach away the pain It's not my fault but anyway A friend of a friend broke my heart in the end Of a story that I swear just can't be
