The Albatross

They said all would be forgiven

When we found ourselves back home

There'd be rest here for the wicked

But we pray God, that part of you is gone

And she's been sleeping medicated

I've got the television on

Something dumbed down and sedated

Just so I won't have to be alone

And this is what we get for trying to be heroes

And dragging silhouettes across the floor

And the curtains draw back, and shocked she whispers

"Everything is different"

We all have big ideas

And with our hearts upon our sleeves

Oh, we bring them out into the open

Hope the world will see it as we see

And this is what we get for trying to be heroes

And dragging silhouettes across the floor

And the curtains draw back and lips form whispers

"Everything is different"

And she opens up

To confide in me

But she can't be sure

I am right here

And we run through water to lose our shadows

And we run through water to lose our shadows

And this is what we get for trying to be heroes

And dragging silhouettes across the floor

And the curtains draw back, she barely whispers

"Can you see the difference?"

And the curtains draw back, she barely whispers

And everything is different

And we run through water to lose our shadows
