All of Us
All of Us
Deep within the hearts of man
Held together with rubber bands
Broken yet able to stand
On their own, like nothing can
Are the ghosts of what was planned before
What was held in store for all of us
Off beyond the Ferris wheels
Ocean waves and grassy fields
What was lost shall be revealed
In endless old-time movie reels
With the hopes of stealing what we know
We’re the stars of this show, all of us
The very fabric of your mind
Folded and dipped in turpentine
Lit to illuminate the sign
That I doubt we’ll ever find
Written in the binding of the book
Read it as you look for all of us
This is just an average tale
Told to warn of what prevails
When the thumb that tips the scales
Ignores the anguish of the wail
Coming from the veil or just beyond
We’re reflections in a pond, all of us
I believe in dangerous things
You seek the wisdom of long-dead kings
Embrace the curse my darkness brings
Inspired by the bird who sings
I returned here bringing back a cure
But we are still impure, all of us
While pointing at someone to blame
Through the fog of lidocaine
You’re the virus; I’m the strain
But no match for the god who finally came
To free us from the pain of everyday
I guess it'll be okay for all of us
