You were so strung out
Lying on the couch
And there was nothing to talk about
So I asked about your friend
Oh, yes I did
I didn't know that it was gonna offend
Until you yelled in my face
Broke my favorite vase
I guess it's a normal fucking day
I got no energy left
To clean up your mess
I said "I love you babe, you're really the best"
"Rest"
Our Lady of Perpetual Motion helps me shake my doubt
And I know that there will not be a way out
I keep going so I can tell myself I was more devout
With heaven waiting, why look for a way out?
Way out
You would not shut up
Woke the neighbors up
They weren't very happy with us
And then you shouted some more
We got a strange rapport
They're banging on the walls, the door, the ceiling, and floor
And someone called the cops
And I almost thought
"Y'know, maybe this won't work after all"
I think I'm losing my mind
But I'll be alright
This only happens almost every night
Right?
But Our Lady of Perpetual Motion helps me shake my doubt
And I know that there will not be a way out
Already I can feel the pressure begin to fall
And your storm is gonna knock me way out
Knock me way out
Come on and knock me way out
Knock me way out
Knock me way out
Our Lady of Perpetual Motion helps me shake my doubt
And I know that there will not be a way out
I keep going so I can tell myself I was more devout
With heaven waiting, why look for a way out?
Our Lady of Perpetual Devotion helps me shake my doubt
And I know that there will not be a way out
Already I can feel the pressure begin to fall
And your storm is gonna knock me way out
Knock me way out
Come on and knock me way out
Knock me way out
Come on, knock me way out
Knock me way out
