LYRICS:
Check your pulse, your vital signs
'Cause it's visible what is on your mind
Though it hurts much worse to feel it than to hear

Grab my keys, I'm walking out
And subconsciously I lock the house
So that it's twice as hard for you to disappear

And I can read you like a headline
Bold and dark
Panicked scripting grips my heart like a newsflash
Leaves me blind
I lose my sight then I lose my mind
For you

Give you space to clear your head
When I walk in, your clothes are boxed on the bed
I'm in denial like you're deciding what to wear

Come on, give it a try - change your mind
Though I stray from my point with every line
Like the teleprompter fades to black while I'm still on the air

And I can read you like a headline
Bold and dark
Panicked scripting grips my heart like a newsflash
Leaves me blind
I lose my sight then I lose my mind
For you

Maybe Human Interest doesn't suit me
Maybe I am much too sick for Health
Maybe I'm too quick to see the bad things
And I should keep Opinions to myself

But were the roles reversed
It'd be much worse
I would never even hesitate to leave you first
Content to write it down in the past tense
Bullet-pointed, modified and vacuous

Like a headline
Bold and dark
Panicked scripting grips my heart like a newsflash
Leaves me blind
I lose my sight then I lose my mind
 
Like a headline
Bold and dark
Panicked scripting grips my heart like a newsflash
Leaves me blind
I lose my sight then I lose my mind
For you

And I can read you like a headline

LYRICS:
Talk sweet but you grind your teeth
Just to keep from the curse coming out
It goes south when you open your mouth
All half truths and wholesale doubt

Oh poor me
When the hammer comes down
Man, it comes down hard
I concede
Right now I can feel it all

Try to shut it out
I hear it
Little voices still break spirit
On my good days
I don't feel it
Oh you said enough

Speak dumb, bound to hurt someone
It's an old song with a new dance to it
A simple beat you could play in your sleep
Still hits like my first time through it

Oh poor me
When the hammer comes down
Man, it comes down hard
I concede
Right now I can feel it all

Try to shut it out
I hear it
Little voices still break spirit
On my good days
I don't feel it
Oh you said enough

Now and again, you leave the details out
Like when you feel the need to tear me down
Still I've got sense enough to know myself
And oh you said enough
Oh you said enough
Oh you said enough
Oh you said enough

Try to shut it out
I hear it
Little voices still break spirit
On my good days
I don't feel it
Oh you said enough

Try to shut it out
I hear it
Little voices still break spirit
On my good days
I don't feel it
Oh you said enough
