explain


she’s had a bad day, that much is clear
her head rests softly on his chest
and i can sense her peace from here
that moment when the weary find their rest

and i wonder, sure i wonder
in all the world, why those two?
if destiny rules with whispers and thunder
what are the lonely to do?

everyone’s eager to speak for me
as if they can voice what i feel
but only God knows what words cannot free
that emotion that’s never quite real
cause there’s something inside
that i’m trying to hide
somethings i can’t explain

there are thoughts that defy
my mind and my eye
somethings i can’t explain
this world is big on breaking the rules
going too far, and worshipping martyrs
just like putting new hats on old fools
their knowledge doesn’t make them smarter
i join in the song of chance melody
buy into the lie that we’re all alone
cause i want to hide behind everything i see
to escape that light that points me home

everyone’s saying i should believe
what they’ve decided to preach this week
but there is a truth that surely must grieve
cause this world lies, and i won’t speak
