lyrics
Oh my god, it's after dark
It's after hours
10 million voices all on you
They're not amused about what you put them through
Their points of view all scream of truth
Of how you used them as a stand-in crew
Taking turns, to knock you out
To turn you up, from the sideways round
A stream of hands drips into your mouth
Rainfall north to south, slowly dissolves your house
You no longer stand, there is no room
There is no floor, you're lying on the door
Said some things that I regret
Tried to talk some sense, said things I had not meant
We should be screaming for our lives
Don't seem to have that side
We're both too nice to fight
It's after hours
10 million voices all on you
They're not amused about what you put them through
Their points of view all scream of truth
Of how you used them as a stand-in crew
Taking turns, to knock you out
To turn you up, from the sideways round
A stream of hands drips into your mouth
Rainfall north to south, slowly dissolves your house
You no longer stand, there is no room
There is no floor, you're lying on the door
Said some things that I regret
Tried to talk some sense, said things I had not meant
We should be screaming for our lives
Don't seem to have that side
We're both too nice to fight
