the air comes off the ocean
the city smells fishy
the air is full of fish and mystery
whispering who, what, when
I am warning you I am weightless
and the wind is always shifting
so don't hang anything on me
if you ever want to see it again
I am telling you I'm different than you
think I am

and you can dangle your carrot
but I ain't gunna reach for it
cuz I need both my hands
to play my guitar
and life is a sleezy stranger
who looks vaguely familiar
flirting with a bimbo named disaster
at the end of the bar
and I am telling you that I am different
than you are

at night when you're asleep
self-hatred's going to creep in
and try to blame it on the devil
the one who's bed you sleep in
and don't tell me what they did to you
as though you had no choice
tell me, isn't that your picture?
isn't that your voice?
if you don't live what you sing about
your mirror is going to find out
oh yeah

I'd like to go to all the pretty parties
where all the pretty people go
and I ain't really all that pretty
but nobody will know
cuz everybody loves you
when you're a star
and nobody questions
what it takes to go that far
and life is a sleezy stranger
and this is his favorite bar

no I don't prefer obscurity
but I'm an idealistic girl
and I wouldn't work for you
no matter what you paid
and I may not be able
to change the whole fucking world
but I could be the million
that you never made
oh yeah

I could be the million that you never made
I could be the million that you'll never make
You're looking at the million that you'll never make

Secluded in a marker stone
Not only deadlier but smarter too, smarter too
All along the tomb, all along the ruin
Secluded in a marker stone
Not only deadlier but smarter too, smarter too

(chorus 2)
I could live a million, I could live a million, I could live a million,
I could live a million years

(repeat chorus 1)

(repeat chorus 2)

All along, all along, all along the tomb
Secret in, secret in, secret in the ruin
Secluded in a marker stone
Not only deadlier but smarter too, smarter too

(repeat chorus 2)

[repeat 1st verse and chorus]

All along all along all along the tomb
Secret in secret in secret in the ruin
Secluded in a marker stone
Not only deadlier but smarter too smarter too

Kind of hard (kind of hard)
Hard to see (hard to see)
When you crawl (when you crawl)
On your hands and your knees
With your face (with your face)
In the trough (in the trough)
Wait your turn (wait your turn)
While they finish you off
Don’t know when it started
Don’t know how (dont know how)
Should have found out
Should have happened by now
Got these lines (got these lines)
On my face (on my face)
After all this time (after all this time)
And I still haven’t found my place
 
I jump from every rooftop
So high so far to fall
I feel a million miles away 
I don’t feel anything at all

I wake up (I wake up)
On the floor (on the floor)
Start it up again (start it up again)
Like it matters anymore
I don’t know (I don't know)
If it does (if it does)
Is this really all (is this really all)
That there ever was?
Put the gun  (put the gun)
In my mouth (in my mouth)
Close your eyes (close your eyes)
Blow my fucking brains out
Pretty patterns (pretty patterns)
On the floor (on the floor)
That’s enough for you
But i still need more (more more)

I jump from every rooftop
So high so far to fall
I feel a million miles away
I don’t feel anything at all

Secluded in a marker stone
Not only deadlier but smarter too smarter too
All along the tomb, all along the ruin
Secluded in a marker stone
Not only deadlier but smarter too smarter too

I could live a million,
I could live a million,
I could live a million,
I could live a million years.

Secluded in a marker stone
Not only deadlier but smarter too smarter too
All along the tomb, all along the ruin
Secluded in a marker stone
Not only deadlier but smarter too smarter too

I could live a million,
I could live a million,
I could live a million,
I could live a million years.

All along all along all along the tomb
Secret in secret in secret in the ruin
Secluded in a marker stone
Not only deadlier but smarter too smarter too
