lyrics

I can take a rain check.
That'd be fine.
I can take patience,
over modern times.
Make a little fortune.
Count my bucks.
Take my shirt off.
Despite my luck.
Saved my change.
Stashed it away.
Maybe someday I change my face,
because the things you say.
All alone it's hard to know,
all the things your face may show.
Make it break and make it whole.
Kill your friends and love your foes.
Said I'm ugly.
Well, that's not true.
'Cause if you ask me,
I think I'm cute.
But that's a question,
best not to use.
In our duration, we are one not two,
and she is you.
For those who answer,
without being asked,
fill up your glass with gasoline
and drink it fast.
But now I've answered.
And no one's asked.
Out of anger, judged a stranger,
I can't take it back.
Passed it forward,
the next morning I felt blue.
As the mirror, showed a face
that looked like you.
Eye for an eye.
Pay to play.
We hear the things we say.
They make us change.
They make us strange.
