Lyrics
Lift the pen, everyone sign again
Another win over memory
What you know--never mind, let it go
It must be so if it's said to be
But warning bones sing out louder
than anything you're saying
They cannot rise and do not lie
And hearts of gold ring out prouder
than anything you're paying
For warning bones you cannot buy
Years and time working for yours and mine
No reason rhymes with this tragedy
Pick your chair, all we can do is share
loving care for the fantasy
Close your eyes, confidence wins the prize
Past your lies to hypocrisy
Close your mind, can't lose what you can't find
And blind leads blind while the sighted flee
