Give me some space to hide
Give me a breathe to die
Give me truth, but not all of it
I find it much too dry
And when I take in an evening sky
The colors far too bright
Not everything that's beautiful
Is on the evening news
Sing why do we come to life
Sing why do we cauterize
Why do we cauterize
If ever there was reason to
I'm sure I'll find it soon
To give up more than to receive
To act the greatest fool
And if my children ask for more
I'm surely to oblige
For every hair upon their head
Is a reason for me to die
Sing why do we come to life
Sing why do we cauterize
Sing why do we cauterize
Why do we cauterize
Why do we cauterize
