|07/17/10|45 bullets, depth 3Editorial Note
DMM called this "probably one of the more outlinable REM songs" and noted it would be "interesting to note the average length of various outlines."
I
sit at my table
wage war on myself
It seems like it's all for nothing
I know
the barricades
the mortar in the wall breaks
Weapons
I recognize them
used them well
Regarding my mistake
it is mine
let me make it good
I
have a rich understanding of my finest defenses
proclaim that claims are left unstated
demand a rematch
decree a stalemate
divine my deeper motives
recognize the weapons
have practiced them well
fitted them myself
It's amazing what devices you can
sympathize
empathize
Regarding my mistake
it is mine
let me make it good
(What you should do)
Reach out to me
Hold me tight
Hold that memory
let my machine talk to me (x2)
This is/I am
my world
world leader pretend
my life
my time
I have been given the freedom to do as I see fit
It's high time I've razed the walls that I've constructed
You fill in
the mortar
the harmony
the mortar
I raised the wall; I'm the only one; I will be the one to knock it down
