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
|
|
[Chorus]
|
