So Im all surrounded

By the things I thought Id put away

An Im all surrounded

By the things I thought Id put away

An theres a pile in the closet

Thats where I threw some yesterday

Maybe under the rug

Thats where I swept some the other day



So the mess is drawing forces

Outside I hear them say

(Just) come out with your hands up

So we can blow you away

And I walk out the door

Get blown wide open

By the things Id put away

And I wasnt even warned

Just blown wide open

By the mess is where I lay



So'm all surrounded

By the things I thought Id put away

So'm all surrounded

By the things I thought Id put away

And if Im a slob

I never looked at it that way

Irresponsible

When youre not the first to say



But I told her Im sorry

I never wanted it this way

Yeah, I still need her

But the mess wont go away

And I walk the door

Get blown wide open

By the things Id put away

And Im out on the porch

Just blown wide open

By the mess is where I lay

Yeah, blown wide open

Blown wide open

Blown wide open

Blown wide open

The guns still smokin

Blood keeps flowin

Blown wide open

Blown wide open

[While she's going]

All surrounded
