Josh Homme
Ballad of Pure Thought
I'm sorry that I had to go out on my own investigation
If only I had known it would cause this separation
Stupid of me, to behave like I was free
For the taking, please don't forsake me
If only I could make her, feel a little better
Take away these ugly thoughts
Exorcise the demons that I brought

I must find, a state of mind, that deals with the temptation
I know I'm gonna find, a way to rise above her expectations
Of me and all that I could be, dedication in a relation
Is more then any flirt
I'm cleaning up the dirt, I'm gonna steal those haunted
Dreams, lift us up to something more supreme

I always thought it would be easy
We'd see it and feel it
But nothing is less true
As tears tell
It's hardcore and painful
