a patchwork man
he puts a feather in his hat
skateboard shoe-in tattoo hued
cigarette
who do you think you are
without the mirror?
what can you say is truly your own,
not borrowed from a safe zone?
glasses, sleeveless t-shirt, vest
and ankle beads
pins in cluster formation
they're saying things
but what do you say when
no one is listening?
why do you speak at all?
what do you think you are
beyond the mirror?
what can you say is truly your own,
not borrowed from a safe zone?

a patchwork man
he puts a feather in his cap
t-shirt jeans mobile device
and a baseball bat
what do you think he holds behind the mirror?
what do you think is truly your own?
a patchwork man
t shirt jeans and a baseball suit
he’s falling back
I don’t know if there’s a rubber anywhere
that would do things like stop bleeding
it’s not like i can’t be broken,
i do things i’ve never spoken in my wandering

beautiful
wonderfully made
magnificent in every facet
wonderful
can you see
the deeper side of life
calling me
haunting me
we like to be comfortable
part of something
connected to a whole
but we never see what we are
even when we are alone
beautiful
wonderfully made
magnificent in every facet
wonderful
can you see
the deeper side of life
calling me
haunting me

if you've got a secret I won't like
please keep it to yourself (don't tell the man)
cause I can't give you what it is you need
it's deep within yourself (don't hurt the man)
every time I watch you fall apart
there's nothing I can do
even on the loneliest of nights
I try to keep my head (I think about the things you do)
but something tells me I did something wrong
and I don't know what it is
(and I'm so grateful for you what you've shown me)
I might never see the light, never see the light
never see the light of day (I'm lost inside the fight)
always in my mind, I'm running out of time
but I know, you're never gonna change
I'll fight another day, no words to say,
but I can feel that I'm running out
I'm wonderin' if you're thinkin' what I'm thinkin'
baby if you are just say it now
say it now
say it now
say it now
