Do You Really Want to Go There?

It's hidden in the coil of the clouds

Somewhere in the corners of our phones

It's torn at the edges of the tattered photographs

And in the long-buried bones

I took the lion's share of the spoils

And all the things that were offered to me

But you never pay such a high, high price

As for the things you were told were for free

Do you really want to go there?

Do you really want to go there?

Now you want us both to stare into the sun

To see who is the one that blinks the first

Do you really want to go there?

I close my eyes

And I count to ten

I hold my tongue

And then I count again

Now the silences are long and loaded

And detonation is near

And the cornered animal will cower or attack

When all it can feel is fear

Do you really want to go there?

Do you really want to go there?

Now you want us both to stare into the sun

To see who is the one that blinks the first

You want us both to stare into the sun

To see who is the one that blinks the first

Do you really want to go there?

Do you really want to go there?

Do you really want to go there?
