Keep running
The body is burning
Within your gentle bones
That you keep hidden from the world
There are millions

So keep smiling
The world is watching
In those eyes you see reflections
Of a boy who's head is swelling
From delusions

Take your time
As you took mine
You're not the only one
Who’s here to save us
You may be strong
But your strength is useless
Take a breathe
What you hold is precious
Just like the rest, you're just as helpless

I'll keep strumming
The tune I'm humming
It's the only thing that lifts my spirit
Above the beer and cigarettes
I keep around me

Sing loudly
And keep laughing
And I'll crack wise as a disguise
To hide the weight my spirit puts upon my body

I'll take my time
To write this line
It’s important to remember all my friends
Who see me though kaleidoscopic lenses
They are the artist, I am their canvas
Just like the rest I'm just as helpless

Take your time
And I'll take mine
We're not the only ones
Who are here to save us
We may be strong
But our strength is useless
Take a breath
What we hold is precious
Just like the rest, we're just as helpless
