NOTES

BAND AND BANG
SCREAM AND SCREAM
WHISTLE AND WHISTLE
CLANG IRON
AGAINST IRON
THE LOWEST RING
SHRILLY THEY DELIVER THE MESSAGE
A HEAVY HEART
DESPAIR
 INSIDE
KNIFE EMOTION
THE BAND PLAYS ON
AND STILL WE CAN HEAR PAIN SINGING
AM I WORTH A THING
AM I WORTH ANYTHING AT ALL
I ASK MYSELF INSIDE
THE NOTES BANG AND HURT
A SHRILL NOTE INSIDE THAT STINGS WITH PAIN
WITH PAIN
WITH PAIN
WITH PAIN
AND STILL WE TAKE LOVE IN
WE TAKE LOVE IN
WE GO ON WITH EACH DAY
TO TAKE LOVE IN
AND ABSORB THAT PAIN
HEARTS SWELL WITH PAIN
THE MISERY OF THE WORLD
IT SWELLS WITH PAIN
AND CONTINUES TO GIVE AND CONTINUES TO TAKE
MAYBE
ONE DAY
WE WILL FEEL GOOD ENOUGH
FOR WHAT
FOR GOD?
FOR LOVE?
FOR ANOTHER?
FOR OUR MOTHERS?
FOR THE CHURCH?
A CAUSE?
THE HUMAN RACE?
IS THAT GOOD
IS THAT ENOUGH
WHAT COMPLEX
WHAT COMPLEX DO YOU THINK I HAVE?
THE ONE I KNOW
I KNOW INSIDE MYSELF
SHE IS ME
SHE IS I
SHE FEELS THAT WAY
SOMETIMES
THAT NEVER GOOD ENOUGH
IS WHATS INSIDE
WHAT DO YOU SEE?
WHAT WE MAKE OURSELVES?
WHAT WE BECOME?
WHO WE ARE?
OUR HEARTS DON'T LIE
AND ONLY GOD CAN SEE
WHAT IS INSIDE
US
WE KNOW WE KNOW AND SO DOES
THEY SWELL WITH LOVE
THEY SWELL WITH PAIN
NOT GOOD ENOUGH
NOT GOOD ENOUGH
NOT GOOD ENOUGH
NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR WHO
NO GOOD ENOUGH FOR WHO
AND EACH NOTE BANGS AWAY THE PAIN
AND EACH TEAR WASHES IT AWAY
IT HURTS TO SCREAM
IT HURTS TO CRY
SO LOUD
YOUR HOARSE
AND ONLY SLEEP WILL TAKE AWAY THE PAIN
BATHES AWAY THE HURT
PURIFIES OUR HEARTS FOR MORE
FOR MORE AND MORE AND MORE AND MORE
NOTES TO FILL
NOTES FALL TO THE FLOOR
