Every little bit

It´s funny how a morning turns a love to shame
Disguised and disfigured and you thought I tasted like rain
There`s nothing here but a shadow nothin here
Now you know
Now you know
Now you know
Now you know
There´s nothin here but the shadow, and now you know
I spit, I spit in the eye
I tear, I tear out my heart
and I scatter the bits
I stay unseen by the light
I stay untold by the truth
I´m sold by a lie
By this I am able in all of my travels
To make these memories quit
But tonight I clearly recall every little bit
I can chew like a cannibal
I can yell like a cat
I even had you believing that I really really like it like that
But there was never a moment
Not a moment
Now you know
Now you know
Now you know
Now you know
You ever got within a hundred million miles of my soul
I spit, I spit in the eye
I tear, I tear out my heart
And I scatter the bits
I stay unseen by the light
I stay untold by the truth
I´m sold by a lie
By this I am able in all of my travels
To make these memories quit
But tonight I clearly recall every little bit
You left open the window till the morning
And the winter walked in
Reality fired her wooden bullet
Splintered under our skin
They say I´m walking on freedom
This is freedom
Now I know
Now I know
Now I know
Now I know
I still don´t blame you for leaving,baby
It´s cold living with ghosts
I spit, I spit in the eye
I tear, I tear out my heart
and I scatter the bits
I stay unseen by the light
I stay untold by the truth
I´m sold by a lie
By this I am able in all of my travels
To make these memories quit
But tonight I clearly recall every little bit
Disguised and disfigured and you thought I tasted like rain
There`s nothing here but a shadow nothin here
Now you know
Now you know
Now you know
Now you know
There´s nothin here but the shadow, and now you know
I spit, I spit in the eye
I tear, I tear out my heart
and I scatter the bits
I stay unseen by the light
I stay untold by the truth
I´m sold by a lie
By this I am able in all of my travels
To make these memories quit
But tonight I clearly recall every little bit
I can chew like a cannibal
I can yell like a cat
I even had you believing that I really really like it like that
But there was never a moment
Not a moment
Now you know
Now you know
Now you know
Now you know
You ever got within a hundred million miles of my soul
I spit, I spit in the eye
I tear, I tear out my heart
And I scatter the bits
I stay unseen by the light
I stay untold by the truth
I´m sold by a lie
By this I am able in all of my travels
To make these memories quit
But tonight I clearly recall every little bit
You left open the window till the morning
And the winter walked in

To make these memories quit
But tonight I clearly recall every little bit
