Just Enough

And it's just enough to hurt

It's just 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 abide, 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

Worry wages its 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 pills until they see us

Watch the clock until we drown

In our rooms, in our beds, in our hearts, in 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 bowl of blood, a blackened eye

The world below, the wrong way 'round

A call for love, without a sound
