Hush Hush
He tip toes from brick to brick
And skips the cracks or he gets sick
Counting sheep, losing sleep
Now his lids are heavy set
Run for it, they're on the prowl
These demons never make a sound
Cries ignored, this cardboard box will keep him dry for now
Why do I give in (when I know it's not the only answer?)
Run away to save my skin (when my angst is growing like a cancer)
And oh the things we'll say when we're standing in our way
Maybe soon this all will be a distant memory
There might as well be blood stains on this carpet floor
He's laying face down wondering what fighting back is for
Don't even give 'em a chance to knock you down
Don't even give 'em a chance to knock you down
And I'll be singin' when I turn around
"La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la"
Why do I give in (when I know it's not the only answer?)
Run away to save my skin (when my angst is growing like a cancer)
And oh the things we'll say when we're standing in our way
Maybe soon this all will be a distant memory
Wars waged on life
We wave it in defeat
Take down the white
Soldier on your feet
I march head strong to shout aloud that
Now, now, now I'm free
Why do I give in (when I know it's not the only answer?)
Run away to save my skin (when my angst is growing like a cancer)
And oh the things we'll say when we're standing in our way
Maybe soon this all will be a distant memory
La-la-la-la-la-la
Don't even give 'em a chance to knock you down
Don't even give 'em a chance to knock you down
And I'll be singin' when I turn around
"La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la"
And skips the cracks or he gets sick
Counting sheep, losing sleep
Now his lids are heavy set
Run for it, they're on the prowl
These demons never make a sound
Cries ignored, this cardboard box will keep him dry for now
Why do I give in (when I know it's not the only answer?)
Run away to save my skin (when my angst is growing like a cancer)
And oh the things we'll say when we're standing in our way
Maybe soon this all will be a distant memory
There might as well be blood stains on this carpet floor
He's laying face down wondering what fighting back is for
Don't even give 'em a chance to knock you down
Don't even give 'em a chance to knock you down
And I'll be singin' when I turn around
"La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la"
Why do I give in (when I know it's not the only answer?)
Run away to save my skin (when my angst is growing like a cancer)
And oh the things we'll say when we're standing in our way
Maybe soon this all will be a distant memory
Wars waged on life

Take down the white

Now, now, now I'm free
Why do I give in (when I know it's not the only answer?)
Run away to save my skin (when my angst is growing like a cancer)
And oh the things we'll say when we're standing in our way
Maybe soon this all will be a distant memory
La-la-la-la-la-la
Don't even give 'em a chance to knock you down
Don't even give 'em a chance to knock you down
And I'll be singin' when I turn around
"La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la"
