Oh the tangle I weave
Not to fly adrift
It ain’t a faulty tether
But it’s been tied to slip
I am a contract killer
Sent to self-assail
You’re the collateral breakage
That I forever fail

Then something wayward beckons
To a shallow grave and
Is that your face in the wreckage

I’m a ricochet of an aimless shot
Fired astray and into your heart
I fly in the face of whatever matters
And now your heart’s been shattered
Shattered, shattered
Now your heart’s been shattered
Shattered, shattered

I’m the lord of the dance
On a tightrope wire
Across an endless span
In a storm of fire
I’m the king of the swindle
I made myself the mark
My life is all but stolen
I left the cold and dark

And something wayward beckons
To a shallow grave and
Is that your face in the wreckage

I’m a ricochet of an aimless shot
Fired astray and into your heart
I fly in the face of whatever matters
I’m the bullet, you’re the blood
I’m the heartache, you’re the love
I fly in the face of whatever matters
And now your heart’s been shattered

I see your face in the wreckage
In a shallow grave and
Something wayward beckons
Is that your face in the wreckage

I’m a ricochet of an aimless shot
Fired astray and into your heart
I fly in the face of whatever matters
I’m the bullet, you’re the blood
I’m the heartache, you’re the love
I fly in the face of whatever matters
And now your heart’s been shattered
Shattered, shattered
Now your heart’s been shattered
Shattered, shattered
Now your heart’s been shattered
Shattered, shattered
Now your heart’s been shattered
Shattered, shattered
