Black and Blue

I've seen rage
I've seen butterflies up in a cage
The eyes of men who speculate
Mass-consumed to propagate
I speak on it, approximate

The distance 'tween a childish mind
Oh I'm bound to break
These wings confined
Threatened by the hands of time
And what a cruel, unjust design
To feel so far from far behind

Ain't it kind of funny
A life that never made much sense
Ain't it kind of funny
I tried my best to comprehend
I know there must be humor
For thoughts alone could drive me mad
But ain't it kind of funny
Or just a little sad
'Cause I'm black and blue
Mmmhmmm

Switch the blade
But calling bluffs still cuts both ways
The deepest thoughts get tossed away
The loudest ones have least to say
Pulling their strings on their one-act-plays

Ain't it kind of funny
A life that never made much sense
But ain't it kind of funny
I've tried my best to comprehend
But I know there must be humor
For thoughts alone could drive me mad
But ain't it kind of funny
Or just the least bit sad
'Cause I'm black and blue
Forgive me
I'm just a little black and blue

Black and blue
Fragile minds that speak untruths
Spewing fear through mind-abuse

Lord they know not what they do
Lord they know not what they do
But ain't it kind of funny
A life that never made much sense

Ain't it kind of funny
I've tried my best to comprehend
But I know there must be some kind of humor

For thoughts alone
These thoughts alone could drive me mad

Cause I'm black and blue
Forgive me, I'm just a little black and blue
Oh forgive me, I'm just a little black and blue
