God's Trampoline

The door bangs and you're locked away
For the question you should never ask
Is the animal soul of man
Composed completely of ash?
And just how many minotaurs
With their axes sharp enough to slash
Our necks could disconnect the parts
Where our heads and hearts are gonna clash?

Could you tell me, could you tell me before I explode?
And when I'm on my own and I don't feel so strong
And the only peace I know is in my songs
I've got to dance all day until my shinbones break
In hopes I might forget this ball and chain
Around my ankles where I bleed

Is your brain sprained chemically
Are you going to play the victims card
Cause years spent on God's trampoline
Have bounced your ass around too hard?
I can't provide the puzzle piece
But I can contribute just a shard
Do you try to forget your pain
Or do you try to face the scar?

Could you tell me, could you tell me before I explode?
And when I'm on my own and I don't feel so strong
And the only peace I know is in my songs
I've got to dance all day until my shinbones break
In hopes I might forget this ball and chain
Around my ankles where I bleed see less
