There's a war going on
You know, you know which line you're fighting from
You took off to a land; did something pull you in?
Did it climb up on your back?
Oh my friend from the past
I am wondering
Where have you gone today?
I did hope for the best
But you're not on my side, no, you're not on my side today
You didn't think you had enough
That's because you'll never have enough
You took off to a land
Where you could be a superhero
A mighty, mighty man
Oh my friend from the past
I am wondering
Where have you gone today?
I did hope for the best
But you're not on my side, no you're not on my side today
There's a war that's going on
You can't be a superhero
But you're already
A mighty, mighty man
A mighty, mighty man
You're not on my side
No, you're not on my side
No, you're not on my side today

Help me find the man who said to me "you don't look real girl"
I'll ask him what he meant
He said "you're too beautiful"
I'll have to ask him what he meant
I'm not sure what bothered me the most
I wasn't sure if he could see my bare bones
I once knew a man who saw in me, a scared little girl
I knew what he meant
I sat curled up in his arms
He knew exactly what I meant
Who's the only one who understood me?
I wonder how you view me
Do you ever see right through me?
I'm not sure what bothers me the most
How rare it is to find someone who sees my bare bones
Do you ever see right through me?
Do you ever see right through me?
Do you ever see right through me?

Monster

I saw the highest walls
I heard the honest words
You shared some quiet tears
I stirred the deeper hurts
I don't know how to look away
When I have seen the greatest view
When my eyes have been burned
Burned in the best way, burned in the best way
I saw a monster there, I gladly shook his hand
I don't know much about him but I'm not afraid to meet him
I knew the beauty there, I felt the strongest peace
You knew the softer heart and I spoke of bigger fears
I don't know how to look away
When I have seen the greatest view
When my eyes have been burned
Burned in the best way, burned in the best way
That monster built a home, he's furnished every room
You're not sure you have what it takes to go down and clear that space
You go down and clear that space,
Oh, you go down and clear that space
I don't know how to look away
When I felt called to that place
When my eyes have been burned
Burned in the best way, burned in the best way
I have seen the greatest view, I have seen the greatest view
When my eyes have seen the greatest view
I have seen the greatest view, I have seen the greatest view
When my eyes have been burned, burned in the best way

I own a porcelain store
Where there's a lot of good, a lot of good to be found
Anything special I'll keep near the back
But it's up high enough, up high enough to be seen
Oh the precious things
And I am the sensitive one
Don't come into my shop from the busy street to throw things around
You know there are
Delicate jars in tight little groups on the shelves
I own a porcelain store
Where there's a lot of good, a lot of good to be found
The front is open to the noisy lane
But light comes in, the light shines in on my face
Oh that sunlit place
And I am the sensitive one
Don't come into my shop from the busy street to throw things around
You know there are
Delicate jars in tight little groups on the shelves
I will honour you with my attention
I will honour you with my attention
I will sort these jars, I would never break them
And I am the sensitive one
Don't come into my shop from the busy street to throw things around
You know there are, you know there are, you know there are
Delicate jars in tight little groups on the shelves

Who is that patient man standing in your window?
He has been there for days and days
Who is that story-teller from the east?
He's always climbing over my fences
I hope he stays
Who is that weathered man wading in the water?
He's been sailing for days and days
I see that farmer planting in the east
He always makes is way westward
I hope he stays
Laugh lines
Kind eyes
Lost boy
Soft smile
Gentle dreamer;
Right beside you
Big heart
Full mind
Lost boy
Soft smile
Honest seeker;
He never left you
Oh, and you go, and you go, and you go
Oh, and you go, and you go, and you go
Oh, and you go, and you go, and you go, go, go
Right beside you

That Was A Nightmare

In the day and in the night
I hear a lot of sounds
I see so many sights
It's a mess around here
And you won't open your mouth
It's a mess around here
I can see the aftermath
Last night I had a bad dream
It was the bloodiest scene I've seen
We stood across from each other
I saw the most vivid colour
It poured out of you
It poured out of you
Maybe I'm crazy
With all this talk, talk, talking about the spirit, oh the spirit
Maybe I'd stop if I didn't hear it
Maybe I'd stop if I didn't see it everyday
Last night I had a bad dream
It was the bloodiest scene I've seen
We stood across from each other
I saw the most vivid colour
It poured out of you
It poured out of you
