I never knew my father
when I grew up as a child
after ten years in the wilderness
he never shook the wild
I took the chalice from the arc
and I threw away the harp
filled my overflowing grin
with a toast to myself again.
Well maybe if I shut my mouth...
Maybe if I SCREAMED ALOUD
Maybe if I let you love me
Maybe you could break me down
But for now...
On my best behaviour
and in the best of days
I'm beating down these demons
but I can't escape their cage
it's not so much the piety
in answering the call
but the bittersweet humility
that I was never king at all
Well maybe if I shut my mouth...
Maybe if I SCREAMED ALOUD
Maybe if I let you love me
Maybe you could break me down
On the brink of my extinction
could you spare a prayer for
all the space I've put between us
and every pace across the floor.
Could you spare a second glance
from the soldiers at my door.
Or at least a second chance
to be the man I was before
Well maybe if I shut my mouth...
Maybe if I SCREAMED ALOUD
Maybe if I let you love me
Maybe I could make you proud
