Marathon - Where We Hide lyrics

rate me

Time to share a story from this odd balcony<br />

And we'll make it tasty with sweet melodies<br />

And the sardonic wit and costumed rhetoric<br />

And we'll giggle from beneath our blanket of shtick<br />

<br />

We exaggerate and we pontificate<br />

And leave out the details that incriminate<br />

You can catch us peek out from behind the metaphors<br />

Just long enough to see if anyone is catching on<br />

<br />

Hide in the songs<br />

Hide in the songs<br />

Hide in the songs we must confess<br />

Our lives are not really as hopeless,<br />

Heartless, haunted as we'd like to think<br />

Yeah we're just privileged brats<br />

And we barely understand<br />

What it means to be oppressed<br />

<br />

We just crave something real<br />

To let out how we feel<br />

So we can start making payments<br />

On our sizable emotional debt<br />

We hide in the songs
