Marvel Not Joseph - Hilliard Ensemble

I start to part two halves of my heart in the dark, and I

Don’t know where I should go and the tears and the fears begin to multiply

Taking time in a simple place;

in my bed where my head rests on a pillowcase

And it’s said that a war’s lead but I forget that I let another day go by

I want to be afraid but it seems that these days

I’m caught under water and I’m falling farther

My heart’s getting harder, I’m calling my father

Am I screaming to an empty sky?

Empty sky, no way, that’s me cause one half of my heart is free

Empty sky, no way, that’s me, cause the other half of my heart’s asleep

Sing a song but don’t believe

Blasphemy is just for me

Hypocrite, take your pick

Cause the poison’s on my lips

Can I understand you?

Can I understand you?

Can I understand you?

Can I understand you?

Lights, camera, action, satisfaction

At your finger tips no one’s lacking stuff

But it’s not enough when it seems that

We have enough stuff just to blow stuff up

Lights, camera, stop!

We’re killing ourselves

Just to get to the top

But we won’t stop talking about what we got

And how we all love it when we’re loved a lot

Enough about you, let’s talk about me

And how everybody thinks I’m just so free

Free?

Did you hear the verse that came first

And how my own body’s waging war on me?

I bet you didn’t know something as absurd

There’s a word that is said more than any other word

It’s sorry, sorry

And I pray that the word was heard

Sing a song but don’t believe

Blasphemy is just for me

Hypocrite, take your pick

Cause the poison’s on my lips

Can I understand you?

Can I understand you?

Can I understand you?

Can I understand you?

Oh, I want to be alive

When you see my eyes

Can I see your eyes?

Can I see your eyes?

Can I see your eyes?

Can I see your eyes?

Can I see your eyes?

Can I see.

I want to be alive

When you see my eyes

Can I see your eyes?

Can I see your eyes?

Let the water wash away

Everything that you’ve become

On your knees, today is gone

And tomorrow’s sure to come

Tomorrow’s sure to come
