Shifting the Blame

[Verse 1] (Yeah!) Last time we saw him, he'd grown way too big The drugs had all sunk in it seemed His flesh had turned greenish, an unnatural sheen So had his brain, one would think We all had noticed a thickness of neck[?] A throbbing of veins ’round his skull His voice had grown deeper, his eyes seemed to bulge Less like a man than a wreck His eyes sunk back in his head In a few years, we argued, he'd probably be dead I can't tell you when It’s not like we're magical men It's not like we're monsters like him [Verse 2] (One, two, three, four) Everyone noticed the fear in his face The froth 'round his mouth and the stink The blood he spat out down the drain in the sink His newly found penchant to drink We tried to decide why he changed The friend that we'd know now Just seemed so strange So what cure should we try? We can't all just lie to feel fine He's barely alive [Chorus] You can tell everyone You wanted to see That [?] You want it to be Tears in his eyes, a verse and a chorus It’s boring and desperate Just best to ignore it Tell everyone You wanted to see That [?] You’re nothing to me Nothing gets better when it stays the same And that's what you’ll tell him When you shift the blame [Verse 3] His eyes had turned black in his head His pupils so big Yeah, they must see the end Of the world, I'll bet But it's not like we're magical men It’s just like we said [Chorus] Tell everyone You wanted to see That [?] You want it to be Tears in his eyes, a verse and a chorus It's boring and desperate Just best to ignore it Tell everyone You wanted to see Nothing go wrong Nothing is free When you get better It might feel the same I wish you could hear you Shifting the blame You can tell exactly what you wanted to see That [?] He wanted it to be Just a tear in his eye A verse and a chorus It's boring and desperate So we better just ignore it in the end
