Masterpiece lyrics

She shot you down and crushed your dreams
She showed you what lookin' in from the outside really means
And with a meat hook where your pride used to be
You find out life can be more tangled than it seems

Sleepin' in the bedroom, climbin' in the dark womb of your twisted,
tangled mind.
Cryin' out for Moses, lookin' for the roses and weeds are all you find
Keepin' on a night light, hiding from the sunshine, eating with a plastic
spoon
You've got to lie, deny and cover your eyes just to get them out of the
room

Where is this masterpiece of love? This thing you've been dreaming of?
An open and honest friend
And when your heart starts to break and everything's at stake
Can you really run away again?

You loved the idea half to death
Coffee, rain, smoke and baby's breath
Killing all the warning signs like pests
But now you feel just as cheated as the rest

Wantin' bodhisattva gettin' Jimmy Hoffa, the biggest dickhead wins
And if you ever asked her which one of you mastered the art of giving in
Yeah she'd tell you that she loved you put nothing else above you, met
you on the middle line
Ah, but she's got needs that you can't see and you let her down every
time

Where is this masterpiece of love? This thing you've been dreaming of?
An open and honest friend
And when your heart starts to break and everything's at stake
Can you really run away again?

You used to be so big and strong long ago, but now you find yourself
shaking
You used to answer all the questions with a smug certainty, but now you
find your faith breaking

The years are coming faster, life is a disaster and everywhere you look
Theories and opinions coming from the minions putting your worth on the
books
Staring at the ceiling, waiting for that feeling to come and lift you up
Ah, but you got yourself here and you better take care that you don't get
yourself stuck.

Where is this masterpiece of love? This thing you've been dreaming of?
An open and honest friend
And when your heart starts to break and everything's at stake
Can you really run away again?
