LYRICS:

fine place for a day full of breakdowns
takes more than a meltdown to show us how
throw a tack on the road, to stop the meatplow
got a bullet but it aint mine

they got these pictures of everything
to break us down yeah to break me down
they make us hate and we make it bleed

but i got a lover and yeah
she shows me how
to understand it, yeah to understand
i got a brother and well
he shows me how
to make amends, yeah to make amends with it

take a break from the mousetrap we call home
takes more than a message to make me smile
i can feel when she kisses me sleeping
but not when the news is on
