The cast is coming off today Relief is not that far away Could be a lonely time to be free But heal these momentary lies When you know you’re faking all you’re taking down All that scolding and all you’re holding down
I see you’ve taken all the broken bones Buried deep beneath this ground you’ve fallen on The dirty hands you hide that can’t be found
The chaste and old survive the heat The canny and bold revive the fleet Today the gracious lose their open minds In a way they’ve always known There’d be divine intervention so why intention fails Is a question pondered, an idea squandered or jailed
I see you’ve taken all the broken bones Buried deep beneath this ground you’ve fallen on The dirty hands you hide that can’t be found
We take ourselves so seriously Then take chances on the world We tell ourselves it’s not important to feel But spend a lifetime being hurt
