|
Somewhere in these private minds, |
|
The last one comes out just in time |
|
To clear out the chambers and sew up the lips, |
|
'Cause that's the price to pay for hoping every slip's not a slide. |
|
In other words not to get it wrong, |
|
It's pointless to walk when it's past time to run. |
|
Secured under the weight of watchful eyes, |
|
Lulled to sleep under clear expansive skies. |
|
Somewhere in these prying hearts |
|
Conflicting histories tear us apart |
|
And we hope we don't get what we deserve, |
|
Hide behind the targets in front of all the people we serve. |
