I drive home from work like I do every day
Wishing I could just run away
To a place with a beach and a big sun shade
Instead of walking through the door

I can see her dream of a better place
Where in her dreams she doesn't get chased
But every time I ask she just brushes aside
The fact that she just can't brush her traumas away

He's lonely and tortured and straight as a stick
He's chiseled himself away bit by bit
He can do no wrong and yet that doesn't feel right
Because everyone he's loved has abandoned him in his life

Nobody knows it but we're all just diseased
Waiting for a day when we'll stumble to Peace...

One by one their faces see mine
We talk and greet each other but it's all in mime
Slowly we fade to our individual spaces
Where we fade into nothing but in our own private places

I've got one brother and he's cute it's true
But something never quite lines up the way it's meant to
He's broken and wishes that he could just do
Everything that he knows that he should

Tonight I'll fall asleep, and as I shut my eyes
Willing a way for us to lose our disguise
When we could all come out and find our true hearts
And heal in a way that fixes all our broken parts
