"Breathing in the dark, lying on it's side
The ruins of the dead painted with a scar
And the more I straighten out
The less it wants to try
 The feelings start to rot, one wink at a time"

"Forgiving who you are, for what you stand to gain
Just know that if you hide, it doesn't go away
When you get out of bed, and find me standing-
Horrified, with each stone on the stage
My Little Dark Age."

"Picking through the cards, knowing what's nearby.
the carvings on the face say they find it hard 
And the engine's failed again, all limits of disguise.
The humor's not the same, coming from denial."

"Oh, I grieve in stereo,
The stereo sounds strange...
I know that if you hide, it doesn't go away.
If you get out of bed, and find me standing-
All alone, open eyed
Burn the page,
My Little Dark Age."

"I grieve in stereo,
The stereo sounds strange...
You know that if it hides, it doesn't go away
If I get out of bed, you'll see me standing-
All alone, horrified.
Burn the stage,
My Little Dark Age."

"Giddy with delight, knowing what's to come.
The image of the dead, dead ends in my mind."

"Policemen swear to god, love's seeping from the guns
I know my friends and I
Would probably turn and run."

"If you get out of bed,
Come find us heading for the bridge?
Bring a stone, all the rage
My Little Dark Age."

"I grieve in stereo,
The stereo sounds strange...
You know that if you hide, it doesn't go away
If I get out of bed, you'll see me standing-
All alone, open eyed.
Burn the page,
My Little Dark Age."
(Little Dark Age, Little Dark Age..)
"All alone, open eyed
Burn the page, My Little Dark Age."
