Just Enough

And it's just enough to harm It's enough to make its mark Just a hand to hold as days get dark A private penance in the night It's just enough to know that we can feel And just enough to know that feeling's real And if you never hurt you'll never heal And we bleed, we obeyed and we howl and we hide We undress in only darkness, hide our bodies from the light And we drink and we drug and we shake and we shrug While he wages his old war and we've lost the will to fight And the feeling's kinda sexy, when they're rubbing up against my shirt My silent circuit burst, you're such a flirt How I love your secret sting It's just enough to think another thought Just trying to unthink the thoughts we've got And hoping maybe soon we make a go And we hurt and we hate and we weep and we wait Count the pounds until they see us Watch the clock until we drown And our rooms and our beds and our hearts and our heads We don't know how to be a man and we've let the family down So we plot and we plan, try to smile when we can We swallow all our feelings with a numb forever frown Falling up into the sky A ball of blood, a blackened eye The world below, the wrong way 'round A call for love, without a sound
