[Verse]
The legends of beauty hits to me with your back against the wall,
How can you look this good naked and understand the pain at all
Panic-stricken while I look for a better place to hide,
and how have I still not commandeered the balls
To lay waits the second best in this exhibit of our excess
And I can see my past success judging open unimpressed
And I can feel my every footstep in my chest
Until my own weak heart beat as you slept
And a little bit of poison it always does the trick
Thereâs an antidote to the edge and living life like this
[Chorus]
And is this passion, something I ll look back on and regret
Well, you tell me Iâm better off dead
Iâll take being all heart, no head
And is this passion, something I ll look back on and regret
Well, you tell me Iâm better off dead
Iâll take being all heart and no head
[Verse]
With a heart so physical it was beautiful, through trembling lips I spoke
Of how I wasnât happy either with a life of hope and smoke
And I turned to you and half-whispered, half-croaked some shitty little joke
Watched as the frown fold lines on your pretty face broken
In our little nest above the street and apalled of the rain
I tried to verbalize fading light and explain away the pain
Of how sometimes I wish I could stay sick and have unending excuse to be away
From what Iâm taught and what Iâm told, and what I found out when it was too late,
From what Iâm taught and what Iâm told, and what I found out when it was too late
[Bridge]

And is this passion, or is this just fashionable
*
Maybe Iâm too impressionable
*
Maybe Iâve learned sweet -all
But Iâll take this life
Over jeans without holes and never saying goodbyes
And Iâll feel the cold and Iâll go broke before I die
[Verse]
But thereâs a child in me who still believes that he can fly
And I grew up in a good house, maybe too good as it seems now
Never knew how hard Iâd have to try to make magic and make money,
and thereâs nothing tragic romantic or funny about
stealing food and running from every decision Iâve ever made,
watch my undying youth be extinguished by my own flame
What Iâm taught and what Iâm told, and what I found out when it was too late,
what Iâm taught and what Iâm toldâ¦
[Chorus]
And is this passion, something I ll look back on and regret
Well, you tell me Iâm better off dead
Iâll take being all heart, no head
And is this passion, no I will not look back or regret
Well, you tell me Iâm better off dead
And Iâll take being all heart and no head
