lyrics

I, I know that it's impossible
But I turn it into parable
Where the moral is the saddest part:
We don't need to end up with a broken heart.

Once upon a time and far away
We supped on vitamins and Tanqueray.
In the parlor you helped me erupt,
Now your palladin hands shut me up

But I'll say it all again, say it all, say it all again.

And they made glasses with their hands
I drank and saw a lighter land.
I was weighed down by rules of pause,
There's only time, there is no cause.

Thinking it can't be fixed with idle prayers
I knocked out your teeth to comb your hair.
Ours, well you can see right through it,
So when we see one we say shoot it! shoot it! shoot it! shoot it!

Say it all again, say it all, say it all again.

Say it all again, I was trying to clear the view
I'll say it all again, but you don't, you don't want me to
I'll say it all again hoping that words will rescue you
I'll say it all again.

And the phone calls that tore my ears
Could not compare to your tears.
I'm sorry if I brought the scale,
Betrayed gold plates and turned you pale.

I used the most beautiful dagger
Twisted and the rubies were lacquered.
This time it's your heart that I'm after,
Kissed it and prepared for disaster.
It is such a dangerous tether
At least now you won't be together
And whether it's declared in letters
One day it'll get better.

Oh! Tomorrow you'll begin
A world that you deserve to live in.
No matter what's in emblazoned script
You already paid the price of it.

So I'll say it all again, say it all, say it all again.

Say it all again, I was try-trying to defend
I'll say it all again, does it need, does it need to end?
I'll always hate me just as much as I hated them
I'll say it all again.
