Act of No Substance

From Heartbreak Rules

Lyrics

Act of No Substance

An act of no substance Because I just don't understand The blade crooked and dull You gave yourself a sword tattoo The treasures of the earth Blue dancing in your coat I fall asleep to that sound Of swaying crooked and dull Light reflects from the blade Covers my face My golden blindfold Your crooked sword tattoo
