== Lyrics ==
 
Breathing in the dark, lying on its 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 
Oh 
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, don't end up stranded 
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 on the stage 
My little dark age 
Giddy with delight, seeing 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 
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 
All alone, open-eyed 
Burn the page, my little dark age
