Song Description

Musing on deception and irony in relationships. My friends call it "The Managed Care Song".

Lyrics

The wounded seldom cry aloud
The hungry never eat alone
As soon as the sound hits the air
Silence is the only friend they've known

Distant compassion will abound
The coldest of comforts swallowed whole
While the kindest of hearts speaks unheard
The simplest of truths forever told

CHORUS:
Now you see it now you don't
You say you want to but you won't
You bite the heart that feeds you
And feed the mouth that bites you
Now you see it now you don't
You say you want to but you won't

Pretenders will always be around
They know the words but not the sound
As soon as the voice hits the ear
You'll find yourself broken on the ground

Hollow compensation will abound
The coolest consolation offered free
While the warmest of lights goes unseen
Fighting for the privilege just to be

Repeat: CHORUS
