Where We Hide - Marathon

Time to share a story from this odd balcony

And we’ll make it tasty with sweet melodies

And the sardonic wit and costumed rhetoric

And we’ll giggle from beneath our blanket of shtick

We exaggerate and we pontificate

And leave out the details that incriminate

You can catch us peek out from behind the metaphors

Just long enough to see if anyone is catching on

Hide in the songs

Hide in the songs

Hide in the songs we must confess

Our lives are not really as hopeless

Heartless, haunted as we’d like to think

Yeah we’re just privileged brats

And we barely understand

What it means to be oppressed

We just crave something real

To let out how we feel

So we can start making payments

On our sizable emotional debt

We hide in the songs
