What is black and blue and hurt all over?
A heart
What heals faster than anything else we know?
A heart
What is the scariest thing to ever let someone else discover?
YOUR heart
And why do you scream into the pillow at night and stare off into the distance in quiet moments?
Because that heart is broken
And how do you help heal this wound inside?
Scream into the pillow at night and stare off into the distance in quiet moments,
Trying to discern the fearful future you so desperately look forward to.
And lock away that heart
Your broken, beaten, black and blue heart
That has been slowly beating to the beat of a ramshackle life
A life that has been patched up and whose banner is flying
Proud and tattered high above the abyss
Of lonely people with black and blue broken hearts
So, that being said, what is black and blue and hurt all over?
Humanity
What heals faster than anything else we know?
Humanity
What is the scariest thing to ever really discover?
Humanity
