And Never Worry

Try not to picture that silver ring

On his bony fingers it lingers still

Try not to picture the world he sees

Through the fog of memories and ill-will

Hope you’re not bitter at the songs he sings

How in hushed and whimpered whispers they slither

Try not to picture your bear trapped in a razor-wire cage

Made from his thoughts and from his dreams

And the nightmares in between

And never think about the lies you pushed into his head

And never think about the nights he wishes he were dead

And never wonder even once if maybe you’re to blame

(No, you are not to blame)

And never worry, never worry, never worry, never worry

Try not to picture your bear trapped in a razor wire cage

Made from his fears and from his hopes and the lies you told the most

And never think about the lies you pushed into his head

And never think about the nights he wishes he were dead

And never ever, ever

No, you are not to blame

And never worry, never worry, never worry, never worry
