How could I have known
The hollowness of bones
Until I was shown
The weight of being alone

The edge of all that is
Pierces slowly in
Opens up the skin
Takes as well as gives

But you could be the whistleblower
You could really sound it out
The end of all the willful blindness
Mayor of the town

This is how the deal came to be
This is how the deal came to be

So I could really use
The decency of youth
I am so fed up with all of you
Present company excluded

All this suffice to say
I'll come back from being away
Get complacent and unawake
Back to my senses

But you could be the whistleblower
You could really sound it out
The end of all the willful blindness
Mayor of the town

This is how the deal came to be
This is how the deal came to be
This is how the deal came to be
This is how the deal came to be
