Played follow the leader.
Keeping my steps in time.
Counting on the wonder ahead,
I leave the pain behind.

It's on me,
it's all mine,
go away,
they're my mistakes,
they're not your problem.

Pinned down in this heaven.
I'll die 1000 times.
Aware of the damage ahead,
I'll leave the pain behind.

(Intro)

Another day, a perfect day
a twinge of pain,
the string of a needle.

So warm at the bottom.
Warm never felt so kind.
And for a moment or two,
I leave it all behind.

(Chorus)

Black dog, white picket fences,
mow them down and dance on the riptide.
Face down in consequences
crack me up and stay on your own side.

I wish I may I mish I might
I pray my soul to keep tonight.
Cause all the walls are staring back?
A perfect day a string for the last time.
