Minds Like Minefields - Alkaline Trio

Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Whoa-oh-oh-oh

Once upon a time

When we both lost our minds

And our memories

Destroyed our common sense

And the letters sent

Suicidal tendencies

Deployed like a parachute

You had a hole in you

As we went tumbling through the sky

The only thing I’d change

Is the fear and rage

And the hell I put you through

So sorry

And I can’t get up the nerve

To look you in the eyes as I’m leaving

And I can’t go on

This same old song and dance is murder on your feelings

Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Whoa-oh-oh-oh

I’m at a loss for words

As the tables turned

You placed me upon the wheel

In your torture chamber

My remains were

Left next to my last meal

Gone without a trace

You went off to taste

The fruit of the afterlife

As I sit and stir

Nightmares recur

Haven’t slept a wink

In forty days or nights

And I can’t get up the nerve

To look you in the eyes as I’m leaving

And I can’t go on

This same old song and dance is murder on your feelings

Now and again

Forgotten friends

Crossing my mind like a minefield

Stopping to stare

Asking «do I dare defuse this or disarm my…»

«Disarm myself?»

And I can’t get up the nerve

To look you in the eyes as I’m leaving

And I can’t go on

This same old song and dance is murder on your feelings

Now and again

Forgotten friends

Crossing my mind like a minefield

Stopping to stare

Asking «do I dare defuse this or disarm my…»

«Disarm myself?»
