Hey, I burn better in the dark Hey, is that me crying? Hey, oh, it's pure poison where you are Hey, is that me dying? Tell me a happy ending story Is there a happy ending story? Is there? Is there? Tell me a happy ending story Oh, tell me a story Hey, for every ending tragedy Hey, I'll rip your heart out Hey, for every evil, dumb, lazy Hey, tear the sun down Tell me a happy ending story Tell me a happy ending story Is there? Is there? Tell me a happy ending story Oh, tell me a story The graces lost, the graces won The filth it is has overcome The lonely ache for you just resurrects it, uh huh The ghost of him haunts in the scream That's coming from the depths of me Watch him die his lonely little death, uh huh Hey, the quicksand's coming, better run Hey, is that me crying? Hey, the stars crash down, don't let 'em in Hey, is that me dying? Tell me a happy ending story Tell me a happy ending story Is there, is there? Tell me a happy ending story Oh, tell me a story Watch him wilt and watch him bloom Imprisoned in the depths of you A loneliness that defines all belief, uh huh The rage that's lost, the war that's won The battle that has just begun He haunts me to the marrow of my grief, uh huh
