| Picture this, he was so very young
|
| His eyes were full of confidence
|
| Cascadin' like a sun on everyone
|
| Proud and loud, but he’s a youth that never speaks
|
| Behind his lazy countenance
|
| Was a fear that ran so deep
|
| We all know, we’ve seen it before
|
| Yeah, countless times, deceivin' smiles (Yeah, mmm)
|
| Moons and stars all shut behind bars
|
| Between the lines, are we blind?
|
| Pity, pity (Yeah, no)
|
| Pity, pity (Yeah, no)
|
| Her skin was smooth, ripened like sweet fruit
|
| She had a patient temperament
|
| But she felt she could not fit inside her shoes
|
| Marchin' on, she’d hum a wistful song
|
| Badedebababa, badab, mmm
|
| Why do I feel alone? |
| Well…
|
| We all know, we’ve seen it before
|
| Countless times, deceivin' smiles (Yeah, mmm)
|
| Moons and stars all shut behind bars
|
| Between the lines, are we blind?
|
| Pity, pity (Yeah, no)
|
| Pity, pity (Yeah, no)
|
| (Mmm, mmm, m-m-m-mmm)
|
| (Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm)
|
| Who’s to blame, who’s to blame, who’s to blame?
|
| Crosses on their names, hidden in the shade (O-o-oh)
|
| Who’s to blame, who’s to blame, who’s to blame? |
| Crosses on their name, hidden in the shade
|
| (Whoah-go-oah, bom do-lum, do-lum, do-do-lum, lum, mmm)
|
| So hard to see a troubled energy
|
| Prescriptions written for affliction
|
| Won’t be a remedy, no
|
| Walls they fall, and crumble 'round us all
|
| But in the end who’ll be the friend
|
| To open up their door?
|
| (Yeah, mmm)
|
| (Yeah, mmm) |
