Amazing Fantasy - Iron Chic

When the weeks start

When the world stops turning

We were young, dumb and earnest

And we burned like a furnace

Now we can’t stop

No, we won’t stop learning

And if words couldn’t hurt us

They could bring out the worst in us

I tried so hard

Couldn’t bear the weight of my heart

So I stepped in the center

Maybe this time, forever

New hopes

And old crimes

Don’t really mean shit this time

They mean shit this time

And the worst part?

When the words stop working

And we’re looking for purchase

On a vertical surface

And we can’t stop

No, we won’t stop searching

When our purpose deserts us

We’ll probably deserve it

I tried so hard

Couldn’t bear the weight of my heart

So I stepped in the center

Maybe this time, forever

New hopes

And old crimes

Don’t really mean shit this time

They mean shit this time

I tried so hard

Couldn’t bear the weight of my heart

New hopes

Old crimes

Don’t really mean shit this time
