there's been an escape
a heart has left its body
a note was found not far from the corpse
outlined in chalk it read to whom it may concern

i'll be at rest until i'm at my best
strictly the facts is all that you ask
I'm screaming out words just to keep things intact
I got all mixed up
I can't say it enough

I put myself in this position
leave the keys undisturbed
leave the change on the dresser
kiss her softly behind the ear
tell her what she wants to hear
and on that day I can say that once
I was a boy who wasn't afraid
