A man is many things   Let's count them all tonight   You're letting go of strings   Replacing them with light      But I want the hit about the teenage take on pain   There's nothing catchy about the life of a saint   But I've got this band in my head   And it's breaking me down to tears   If I scream scream scream   About a good man's life   Will you ever stop and listen   Would you open up your eyes   Would you scream with me   Sing it sad and sweet   Say goodnight, goodbye, love   In the morning you will see      Photos keep you close   With increments of light   The quiet wooden posts   The county's cold tonight      But I want the hit about the teenage take on pain   There's nothing catchy about the life of a saint   But I've got this band in my head   And it's breaking me down to tears   If I scream scream scream   About a good man's life   Will you ever stop and listen   Would you open up your eyes   Would you scream with me   Sing it sad and sweet   Say goodnight, goodbye, love   In the morning you will see   I'd rip my eyes out for you      I screamed screamed screamed   About a good man's life   Would you ever stop and listen   Would you open up your eyes   Would you scream with me   Sing it sad and sweet   Would it make you cry   Would you finally see   That all your lives are moments   All your words and closeness   Keep you here and human   Whispering tonight      All your lives are moments (So we scream)   All your words and closeness (And see as far as)   Keep you here and human (While they stand and stare)   Do you think they'll ever care   I don't care   I don't care
