I know you don't like "I'm sorry"

'cause once no one said it to you

just like you don't like holidays

and you can disappear in a room

just like what family means to you

it's a burn mark 40 years wide

but we are all somehow deserted

all somewhere left behind.



You stare too long at that package

you won't get to the gift inside

funny how life makes a wound

and then makes it your ally

hold on to me like a scar on your side

like family: calloused but kind

we are all somehow deserted

all somewhere left behind



Real armor is it not shiny and bright

it's dark and it hits back hard

and love it is one long lesson

in where to let down your guard



I'll go you story for story

of games that hit your head on the floor

your hard luck guardian heroes

you don't need them so much anymore

I used to think that's what muscles are for

to close all the drawers

and keep them that way

we're all somehow deserted

somewhere left behind

but where they leave us

we don't have to stay

we're all somehow deserted

somewhere left behind

where they leave us

we don't have to stay.
