"Jinx" lyrics

Wide eyes on a little girl
Shine bright in a big old world
The most herself she's ever been
With so many ways to win

Where did it go so wrong?
Blueprints already drawn
Such a promising builder
I took her tools and killed her

But it's funny now (ha, ha, ha)
And when I start to doubt
What the joke's about
The voices drown it out
(La, la, la)
(La, la, la)
(La, la, la)
Voices drown her out
(La, la, la...)
(La, la, la...)
Voices drown her out
(La, la, la...)
(La, la, la...)

I don't ever trust a memory
I can't tell when one's an enemy or friend to me
I tend to be wary
'Cause it's scary out there for a girl with a dream
Gotta strike first
Sacrifice hurts
Driving my hearse is my job to keep
Quiet
Quiet
In the backseat
I swear she's safer under six feet
It couldn't wait til later
I saved us when I slayed her

And it's funny now (ha, ha, ha)
When I start to doubt
What the joke's about
The voices drown it out
(La, la, la)
(La, la, la)
(La, la, la)
Voices drown her out
(La, la, la...)
(La, la, la...)
Voices drown her out
(La, la, la...)
(La, la, la...)

Everybody relax
There's no going back
Start facing the facts
Now we gotta act
Natural, casual
Casualties are just a price of war
The only question now is what have I been fighting for?

(La, la, la...)
Voices drown her out
(La, la, la...)
Voices drown her out
(La, la, la...)
