The Albatross

They said all would be forgiven
When we found ourselves back home
There'd be rest here for the wicked
But we pray God, that part of you is gone
And she's beed sleeping medicated
I've got the television on
Something dumbed down and sedated
Just so I won't have to be alone
This is what we get for trying to be heroes
Dragging silhouettes across the floor
The curtains draw back she barely whispers
"Everything is different"
We all have big ideas
And with our hearts upon our sleeves
We bring them out into the open
Hope the world will see it as we see
This is what we get for trying to be heroes
Dragging silhouettes across the floor
The curtains draw back and lips form whispers
"Everything is different"
And she opens up
To confide in me
But she can't be sure
I am right here
And we run through water to lose our shadows
And we run through water to lose our shadows
This is what we get for trying to be heroes
Dragging silhouettes across the floor
The curtains draw back she barely whispers
"Can you see the difference?"
The curtains draw back she barely whispers
And everything is different
And we run through water to lose our shadows
