lyrics
You beautiful moron, you terrible wonder,
The one that tomorrow has to fear,
'cause you don't fear tomorrow.
It's taking you higher, it's dragging you under,
It's all you can see and you need to feel,
There's always tomorrow.
Never mind the consequence, you get back up to fall again:
You're reckless.
Just to feel it again,
But you'll never feel it again.
In every second, in every moment,
We feel a kind of ticking as the blood still flows,
Around us.
It's happening again.
The damage again.
The panic again.
The nothing that the everything became.
Again.
And every time you make amends,
Another opportunity ends,
but you've learned to expect this.
So that's not stopping you:
Never mind the consequence, you get back up to fall again:
You're reckless.
So look at it this way, you terrible wonder,
You'll see that the end is drawing closer and closer.
There's nothing higher or further under:
It's all you can see and you need to feel,
with no tomorrow.
And every time you see the chance,
It drips like water from your hands,
and it's futile in perspective,
But that's not stopping you:
Never mind the consequence, you get back up to fall again:
You're reckless.
Just to feel it again,
But you'll never feel it again.
