You’ve been gathering sweet chocolate buttons

Saving them up for a joke

You’ve been hoarding them under your pillow

In a wine bottle, empty and broke



You can smile with the liars and losers

Whether you find it funny or not

You can laugh at the blind and the broken

With all of the colours you’ve got

So you drop this candy coated rage

Through the neck of the bottle



It’s a short way to fall, to the top



I caught you counting the hurt in the sunshine

Look how the colours they sing

It’s hard not to hide them

To revel in selfness

When hurt is a beautiful thing

So you drop this candy coated rage

Through the neck of the bottle



It’s a short way to fall, to the top



You can laugh at the hapless and hopeless

Look how you’re laughing at me

I’ve been dying to shatter your bottle



And it’s a short way to fall

It’s a short way to fall to the top
