lyrics

You learned a new word today
Learned you’re a masochist
Someone I once thought you would hate
I admit I was wrong
And you persist you cannot be
To demand my reasons is to want hurt feelings
To demand my reasons is to want hurt feelings

There simply isn’t any reason you should be surprised
It’s a cold-hard fact that has been implied more than a few times

Oh, I’m a man made out of lead
I’ll weigh you down stuck in your head
Poison you to no end
The laws of physics keep me here
No reason you should stay so near
Sure but never without fear

You may think that you can stay
But I assure you you’ll be dust
Long before I wash away
So I have made it clear
There is your reason to go
I’ve found there’s no subtle way to disappear
I’ve found there’s no subtle way to disappear

The truth is nowhere near as dark as plainly it would seem
Think about the last time you were happy as could be

Oh, I’m a man made out of lead
I’ll weigh you down, stuck in your head
Poison you to no end
I’m a villain; I’m a thief,
I’m everything that makes you weak
I’ll leave you trembling at the knees

Oh, I’m a man made out of lead
I’ll weigh you down, stuck in your head
Poison you to no end
It’s not something I can control
Being stone sure takes its toll
A statue still without a soul
