Escape Artist - Of Course It Couldn't Be Lyrics

Everyone's gone now, and they said my greatest sin
Was to let the growth ensconce the bone, and then
When the levees broke, I lived to watch my skin
Fuse, mask the fracture, play pretend
And if dreams come true
Then that luck bleeds into the nightmares too
And the ones you want to know you
Are busy doing other things
They'll burn right through
Of course it couldn't be, of course it couldn't be
Of course it couldn't be, of course it couldn't be, of course
So I drowned them out and found that I could hear
Hatred undeserved - a fleshy thrum in my left ear
I could fantasize, believe that I'll endear
Me to you, catch you, crush you near
And if I'm unwell
I might return to the place I fell
And finally serve my sentence:
Indulge the clammy certainty
Of private hell
Of course it couldn't be, of course it couldn't be
You seemed so sure of me, you seemed so sure of me, you seemed so sure of me
Of course it couldn't be, of course it couldn't be
Of course it couldn't be, of course it couldn't be, of course
