So? all surrounded

By the things I thought I? put away

An? all surrounded

By the things I thought I? put away

An?there? a pile in the closet

That? where I threw some yesterday

Maybe under the rug

That? 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 I? put away

And I wasn? even warned

Just blown wide open

By the mess is where I lay



So'm all surrounded

By the things I thought I? put away

So'm all surrounded

By the things I thought I? put away

And if I? a slob

I never looked at it that way

Irresponsible

When you?e not the first to say



But I told her I? sorry

I never wanted it this way

Yeah, I still need her

But the mess won? go away

And I walk the door

Get blown wide open

By the things I? put away

And I? 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 gun? still smokin?

Blood keeps flowin?

Blown wide open

Blown wide open

[Why? she going]

All surrounded
