You don't see what I'm putting up with How I am lying here with gritted teeth And a stomach full of acid Creeping its way up my throat You said you didn't want someone with a heart on his sleeve So I tore it off and it stayed where it dropped For someone so obsessed with looks It sure was easy to sew these eyes shut Are we moving in the right direction? Someone who is strong You know I had a dream about us once And we were up on the roof I was afraid to sit on the edge But I did it any way I've listened close for any sign of moment of betrayel in your camp But not so much as a scratch from a mouse All I see is your power Your strengh Your unwavering courage As wind billows through your tall bright banners Always a thousand reasons why not With only one reason why If I never would have read your words I never would have known How you can spill black couldrons of malice, but show beauty still You can open up the sky with your words Build a storm in its belly But still feel pitty if it rains down on me I can feel your combat boots On my front teeth At my groin Snapping my ribs Still even then, you reach down for a kiss
