[Verse 1]
And I was afraid of having to leave
So I kept myself distanced from everyone else
And I had intended to be one of all
Of the people I knew who were bricks in a wall
But "Maybe"s and "Later"s were killing my patience
So I neverminded the lack of my goals
And killing a bird doesn't get you in trouble
If you do it quietly and wash off your clothes
[Chorus]
So every morning
I did it again
Chained up my heart
And put in my brain
Look in my eyes
And you'll see no pain
For all my conciousness'
Been put on sale
[Verse 2]
Father and mother were holding each other
As they put me back into my wooden bed
Then they shut the door and my mom started shouting
How much she hated to see my father's face
And I overheard what I wasn't supposed to
But all the time nobody caught me aware
And just when I cried and I asked them to stop
I saw my mother's eyes empty of pain
[Chorus]
Every heart is
In danger of pain
Right when it starts
Caring again
Look in our eyes
And you'll see no pain
Cause all of our dreams
Have been put on sale
