So Im all surrounded
By the things I thought Id put away
An Im all surrounded
By the things I thought Id put away
An theres a pile in the closet
Thats where I threw some yesterday
Maybe under the rug
Thats where I swept some the other day

So the mess is drawing forces
Outside I hear them say
(Just) come out with your hands up
So we can blow you away
And I walk out the door
Get blown wide open
By the things Id put away
And I wasnt even warned
Just blown wide open
By the mess is where I lay

So'm all surrounded
By the things I thought Id put away
So'm all surrounded
By the things I thought Id put away
And if Im a slob
I never looked at it that way
Irresponsible
When youre not the first to say

But I told her Im sorry
I never wanted it this way
Yeah, I still need her
But the mess wont go away
And I walk the door
Get blown wide open
By the things Id put away
And Im out on the porch
Just blown wide open
By the mess is where I lay
Yeah, blown wide open
Blown wide open
Blown wide open
Blown wide open
The guns still smokin
Blood keeps flowin
Blown wide open
Blown wide open
[While she's going]
All surround
