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
