lyrics

Picture this, he was so very young.
His eyes were full of confidence
cascading like a sun on everyone.

Proud and loud, but he's a youth that never speaks.
Behind his lazy countenance
was a fear that ran so deep.

We all know, we've seen it before
countless times, deceiving smiles.
Moons and stars all stuck behind bars
between the lines, are we blind?
Pity, pity.
Pity, pity.

Her skin was smooth, ripened like sweet fruit.
She had a patient temperament
but she felt she could not fit inside her shoes.

Marching on, she'd hum a wistful song
badedebababa badabmmm
why do I feel alone? Well-

We all know, we've seen it before
countless times, deceiving smiles.
Moons and stars all stuck behind bars
between the lines, are we blind?
Pity, pity.
Pity, pity.

Who's to blame, who's to blame, who's to blame
crosses on their name, hidden in the shade oh

Who's to blame, who's to blame, who's to blame
crosses on their name, hidden in the shade oh

So hard to see a troubled energy.
Prescriptions written for affliction
won't be a remedy no.

Walls they fall, and crumble around us all
but in the end who'll be friend
to open up their door?
