I come bearing legacy, that we caused your leaving our dawning land
 I come with delivery, and I have wrapped it in my mourning band
 
 I bring you my history that I expect your tender arms around it
 Give it love and think of me
 These are the letters from a compound
 
 See the dawning of novelty (novelty)
 Where we embrace the kind of subtlety (embrace those things) (the subtlety)
 Time finally caught up with me (finally, caught, up, -with me)
 Molded in the image of the feared fugitive (m-ooo-lded)
 
 Toned down but playful
 Say your greetings with goodbyes
 Your cup is brim full
 Sorrow sinking with a smile
 
 (x2)
 Now we found a cure
 Tiny to be sure
 Change is always given to decide just who it's for
 
 Don't expect to hear from me
 As I have got to feed our hungry mouths
 I do enjoy your company
 But we must work to keep you content
 
 I see the better and the worse in me (and the worst in me) (the worst in me)
 I embrace the kind of subtlety (embrace those things) (the subtlety)
 Courage finally caught up with me (finally, caught, up, -with me)
 Molded in the image of the feared fugitive (m-ooo-lded)
 
 (x5)
 Now we found a cure
 Tiny to be sure
 Change is always given to decide just who it's for
 
 Toned down but playful
 Say your greetings with goodbyes
 Your cup is brim full
 Sorrow sinking with a smile
