i tried to cross a bridge today i tell you man there aint no way to change so i paid someone to lead me through mapped it out from me to you in a way, it's cruel a crosseyed mess led me from the flames into the dark our empty smiles keep us from completely falling apart but somewhere inside me there's a jealous mind and i want it out of my head we keep handing out our gifts a gilded age keeps our hearts stiff and apart but what about our flesh and blood? the product of our young love is here to stay a crosseyed mess led me from the flames into the dark our empty promises keep us from bearing our hearts but somewhere inside me there's a jealous mind and i want it out of my head i want it out of my head
