[Intro]
  
x2

[Verse 1]
           
Breathing in t

    
he dark
              
Lying on its s


ide
           
The ruins of t

    
he day
              
Painted with a

   
 scar
           
And the more I

            
 straighten ou


t
              
The less it wa

        
nts to try
           
The feelings s

         
tart to rot
              
One wink at a 

   
time

[Chorus 1]
Oh
         
Forgiving who 

     
you are
             
For what you s

      
tand to gain
           
Just know that

        
 if you hide
          
It doesn't go 

  
away
           
When you get o

        
ut of bed
             
Don't end up s

   
tranded
 
Horrified with

 each stone

On the stage
              
My little dark

   
 age



[Verse 2]
           
Picking throug

         
h the cards
              
Knowing what's

   
 nearby
           
The carvings o

         
n the face
              
Say they find 

     
it hard
           
And the engine

         
's failed agai

n
              
All limits of 

  
disguise
           
The humor's no

         
t the same
              
Coming from de


nial

[Chorus 2]
Oh
         
I grieve in st


ereo
            
The stereo sou

#      
nds strange
           
I know that if

       
 you hide
          
It doesn't go 

  
away
           
If you get out

     
 of bed
             
And find me st

      
anding all alo

ne
Open-eyed

Burn the page
My little dark age

   
  
   
  

[Chorus 3]
         
I grieve in st


ereo
          
The stereo sou

         
nds strange
           
You know that 

        
if it hides
          
It doesn't go 

  
away
           
If I get out o

   
f bed
             
You'll see me 

        
standing all a

lone
Horrified

On the stage
              
My little dark

  
 age



[Bridge]
N.C.
Giddy with delight
Seeing what's to come
           
The image of t

    
he dead
              
Dead ends in m

      
y mind

[Chorus 4]
         
Policemen swea

     
r to god
             
Love's seeping

         
 from the guns
           
I know my frie

        
nds and I
             
Would probably

       
 turn and run
           
If you get out

    
 of bed
             
Come find us h

        
eading for the

 bridge
Bring a stone

All the rage
My little dark age

[Chorus 3]
         
I grieve in st


ereo
             
The stereo sou

       
nds strange
           
You know that 

        
if it hides
             
It doesn't go 

  
away
           
If I get out o

   
f bed
             
You'll see me 

         
standing all a

lone
Open-eyed

Burn the page
My little dark age

[Outro]
     x2
      
        x2
    

All alone
Open-eyed

Burn the page
              
My little dark

  
 age
