Arab Strap Just Enough
And it's just enough to harm
It's just enough to make its mark
Just a hand to hold as days get dark
A private penance in the night
It's just enough to know that we can feel
And just enough to know that feeling's real
And if you never hurt you'll never heal
And we bleed, we obeyed and we howl and we hide
We undress in only darkness, hide our bodies from the light
And we drink and we drug and we shake and we shrug
While he wages his old war and we've lost the will to fight
And the feeling's kinda sexy
When they're rubbing up against my shirt
My silent circuit burst, you're such a flirt
How I love your secret sting
It's just enough to think another thought
Just trying to unthink the thoughts we've got
And hoping maybe soon we make a go
And we hurt and we hate and we weep and we wait
Count the pounds until they see us
Watch the clock until we drown
And our rooms and our beds and our hearts and our heads
We don't know how to be a man and we've let the family down
So we plot and we plan, try to smile when we can
We swallow all our feelings with a numb forever frown
Falling up into the sky
A ball of blood, a blackened eye
The world below, the wrong way 'round
A call for love, without a sound
