In one sad breath you’ve said it all
A piece that finally has a name
This sigh has roots so deep that they run with mothers veins
Landlords of this burning house, I swear we’re never moving out

We’ll leave the light on and pies upon the sill
Misery and company: A relationship sewn before us
Which makes us puppets in a play
An though I’ve never seen our lines, we sing and dance a scripted life

If we only knew the end
Nobody gets away
Nobody gets away this time
Stand in line and don’t forget to smile

I’m the crier, I’m the thorn
With every spill of milk I’m torn in two
I’m really not sure how I got to be this way
Or why I love a sad parade
The pageantry washed in a rain

I’ve dried all my clothes but I’m soaked down to the core
Misery and company assure no matter where we aim pity
It’ll always lead you home
Nobody gets away
Nobody gets away this time
Stand in line and don’t forget to smile
