To bitter from sweet Like liquid to concrete It's tough to digest Life rips through your chest And just takes a heartbeat
You can't check your pain Aboard the shame train And maybe I'm out of line But if you show me yours I'll sing you mine
[Chorus:] A punch in the gut Some black 'round the eye There's red from my lips And I'm asking god why There's a bump on my head And a hole in my heart If there's one thing I've learned, it's That these are my greatest hits
I don't sing for the rainbow Cuz I taste the rain They spit "cheer up" and they scoff I laugh "cheer down or fuck off" Then get roughed up against the grain
You may never be happy And I still see your worth Someday we'll be less miserable We'll dye our heads invisible Wrapped up in robes not of this earth Not of this earth Not of this earth Not of this earth
[Chorus]
Would you read a book if somebody took out all the good pages? So we did some drugs, gave out some hugs, rattled a few cages Have you made mistakes, let off the brakes? Confess uncleanliness Not to feel bad about but to embrace your humanness
