On the first day
After coming back home you brought your treasure to the morning’s light
But the sun’s rays
Sometimes reveal a little more than you expect to find
You knew it was OK
That everything would come to pass, would fall in line
You’ll have something they’ll take
You’ll make enough to buy some peace and joy and love and time
Every Sunday
An unlucky superhero’s tied to a post and stripped naked
But it’s hard to relate
To someone strong enough to stand up there & just take it
You got too much at stake
You’re selling door to door what they won’t make the same mistake with
They send you far, far away
You’re seeing visions of a coming devastation
You see fire, you see ashes
And you’re having a hard time
You see fire, you see ashes
And volcanoes and endless night
You see fire, you see ashes
You see fire, you see ashes
On the fourth day
You rolled that stone away and went out to find some old friends
But it was one too late
For anyone to call it victory over your darkness
They’d already learned how to say
No thanks, I’m really OK, I found my own way to solve it
But now it’s less of a pain
You’re allowed to lie when they all ask you about your gouged wrists
And you try to act natural
When they ask you why
Yeah you try to act casual
In the midst of that lie
Yeah you try to act natural
When they ask you why
And you try to act casual
In the midst of that lie
