One More Time With Feeling

your stitches are all out

but your scars are healing wrong

the helium balloon inside your room has come

undone

and it's pushing up at the ceiling

and the flickering lights it cannot get beyond

everyone takes turns

now it's yours to play the part

and they're sitting all around you

holding copies of your chart

and the misery inside their eyes is

synchronised and reflecting it to yours

hold on

one more time with feeling

try it again, breathing's just a rhythm

say it in your mind until you know that the

words are right

this is why we fight

you thought by now you'd be

so much better than you are

you thought by now they'd see

that you have come so far

and the pride inside their eyes

is synchronised to a love you'll never know

so much more than you can show

hold on

one more time with feeling

try it again, breathing's just a rhythm

say it in your mind, until you know that the

words are right

this is why we fight

this is why we fight
