We all have got a role to play
the lioness she stalks her prey
he's bleeding in the tall grass,
unaware his thrashing makes him easier to follow
But when she gets him in her claws
she'll invite him in because
her cave is not a home without him,
just a hole that is lonely and hollow
And can't you see the writing on the wall is drawing us together?
It's written there in soot and ash and blood and that's furever.
And so if you are terrified, of what you hide, remember
That I'm still on your side, and that's furever...furever...
We all have got a role to play
You'll be filling yours someday
and I'll be filling mine until then we're killing time,
hunting monsters in our minds
and when I see you standing strong
Pretending you don't want to play along
I'll never make you blue (or make you pay)
I'll tackle you into a pile to unwind
And can't you see the writing on the wall is drawing us together?
It's written there in soot and ash and blood and that's furever.
And so if you have been denied, choke up your pride, remember
That I am on your side, and that's furever...furever...furever.
I don't have to argue, everybody knows you have issues,
you lay your colors bare (in a manner of speaking)
I'll be there when you finally decide to bare your heart,
it's the part I want to share
And I don't have to argue, everybody knows you have issues,
you wear them on your sleeves (so to speak)
I'm not a thief, the only jewels that I need are your diamonds,
and I find them following
The bows and arrows, in your words
The words behind your broken teeth
The broken glass that's under foot, and paw and hoof
the high and low, whatever nonsense you believe
The vast unknown laid out ahead,
The tears and anger, good and bad
The big adventure still at hand, and paw and whiskers.
Grey, blue, red, whatever, I will understand!
And can't you see the writing on the wall is drawing us together?
We're written there in soot and ash and blood and that's furever
And so if I've been too discrete, let me repeat, remember
That I'm still on your side, and that's furever... furever...
