When I was young I was told
At 22 it's over, wasn't that a lie
At 22 I'm not that old
To do new tricks every day
That keep my soul alive
I see sadness, because
It's hard to tell the truth
When you don't know your lying

So lay down your shield my friend
Write love notes with your glitter pen
Unwrap the bandages that bind your legs
and come with me tonight

It's been a long day
But the years gone quick how do I figure that out
Its so easy to hear the screams hidden in that soft sweet voice, that comes from you
You can't fool a fool
It's been a long day, but don't the nights go quick when you're not awake
So, for goodness sake
Close your eyes ... and drift away

Lay down your shield my friend
Write love notes with your glitter pen
Unwrap the bandages that bind your legs
and come with me tonight
