Rules I Don't Know Songtext
von Page McConnell

The crew crept in closer
Overexposed
As they captured a couple frames more
The shots just got tighter
And the reels run despite our last gasp on the cutting room floor
Attempts to resurrect
The folding chairs on the deck as the actors and cameras collide
The tears swept away
The better I should stay
Is why I might keep it inside

I watched as the flamethrower
Turned to my rainbow
To torch up my quaint little shack

I sank as the reaper
Dug in even deeper
My sickle celebrity hack


Sensing the fear
That I might disappear with no mind over matters of fact
Defenses in their place
And still I couldn′t trace
Less than half of what caused the attack

How can I leave this behind me
With all that's around to remind me
How can this road help unwind me
When it′s the road that I don't go that defines me
What do these questions provide me
Why do these answers divide me
How can I put this behind me
When it's the tears that I don′t cry that define me

Got my passport photo had it taken today
Not the best one I′ve seen but it should get me away
I'm in a situation and the color′s gray
It's been such a long time that I′ve been feeling this way
Wouldn't be so bad but seems like every third day
I see the same old movie and it always ends the same
And the soundtrack starts rewinding
To a plot not far behind me
I try not to let much get by me
But it′s the rules that I don't know that define me


How can I leave this behind me
With all that's around to remind me
How can this road help unwind me
When it′s the rules that I don′t know that define me
