It's been a while I'll grant you that

Old habits die a violent death

And just what else would you expect?

When some have nothing to protect

Oh to crucify the self

With all these dim illusions

Confusion to be reckoned with

A point to counter counterfeit

Let's go up on the roof tonight

And let the starlight burn so bright

Beneath your skin I'm in

I'm instant messaging

One day we'll gladly put away

All that leads to second guessing

Stumble hard under the curse

And pray for this old universe

Pray for this old universe

Yes your secret's safe with me

As safe as safe could ever be

Innocence is the only art

It's broken keys for broken hearts

Let's go out for a drive tonight

Radio? the backdrop

To the soundtrack deep within

I'm instant messaging
