Maus Without Caution Lyrics

It was not what was said

Or the kick in the groin that followed

Or the bottle that hit my head

That made me feel i'd lost control

It was how you were staring at

This empty space that i occupy

With a face that could testify

I'd grown into someone you no longer knew

And when it hits you, it hits you hard

The feeling that that nothing is going to last

Manipulated and distorted

Watching the world go by too fast

Come as you are
And then leave as you have been

Don't lose your head while wondering

If it's better to burn out or fade away And if "life is what happens while we're busy making other plans"

How come that sounds like breaths of alcohol

Said by a man who'd lost control?

And when it hits you, it hits you hard

The feeling that that nothing is going to last

Manipulated and distorted

Watching the world go by too fast

It's not what you're able to do that really matters

The things that we leave behind are what we are made of

It's born as a small spark in the back of your head
Lives on as a fire, and it's still burning
