Lyrics
I see you there, just a silohuette along that roadside;
You see it there, you showed it off, you kept it for yourself, but eventually you had to hide...
You felt it chew away, so you lied to yourself to keep out the pain,
Holding it closer, close to your breast, close to yourself, but nothing covers the bloodstains
It’s not easy to hide when you know where your hiding place is,
Still it’s easy to lie until the floor beneath you gives.
And I once thought I was right, but I was wrong.
The strings have been severed, but you’re still holding on.
You see it there, unshattered along that roadside,
It seems so wrong when you’re flowing for it not to bleed.
You picked it up, showed it off, and kept it for yourself.
That’s not survival, that’s only greed.
It’s not easy to hide when you know where your hiding place is,
Still it’s easy to lie until the floor beneath you gives.
And I once thought I was right, but I was wrong.
The strings have been severed, but you’re still holding on.
