Caroline's Song

Death knells are sounding all around,
as you drive your life into the ground.
Did you hear us calling you?

Can't you see that we love you?

I know you've seen your share of pain,
and I know you want it all to go away.
You know, I've seen it too,
I've been right there with you.

If our eyes were covered in a hue,
you'd think it'd be a shade of blue,
but our eyes they are green,
if only you could see
the potential you have inside,
from which you always seem to hide.
It's not just me who can,
I am Sam, Sam I am.

Yeah, you've done ok,
you've done alright,
but it's never been enough,
has it?
Yeah, you've done ok,
you've done alright,
and if it's good enough for you,
it's fine.

We have a demon in our heads,
he does our thinking in our stead.
He may try to steal your heart,
don't let him get that far.

Those who don't know what it is like,
who always had the perfect life,
will make you feel like shit, but
they're fucking ignorant.

Who said anything about
condemning what you do?
I could never really
stay that mad at you.
It's not normal to be
throwing stones at you,
then turn around,
and talk about
how much we love you.

Just listen to my cheerful words,
I've gone and conquered Satan first.
It is worth all the pain,
but you have to stay the same.

I wish that you would come back home.
Since you've been gone, I've been alone.
I have lost my best friend,
who I'm made to defend.

If it's good enough for you,
it's fine by me.
