How could I have known
The hollowness of bones
Until I was shown
The weight of being alone
Picture of all that is
Pierces slowly in
Opens up the skin
Takes us where there's gifts
Well you could be the whistleblower
You could really sound it out
The end of all the willful blindness
Mayor of the town
This is how the deal came to be
This is how the deal came to be
So I could really use
The decency of youth
I am so fed up with all of you
Present company excluded
All this suffice to say
I'll come back from being away
Get complacent and unawake
Back to my senses
But you could be the whistleblower
You could really sound it out
The end of all the willful blindness
Mayor of the town
This is how the deal came to be
This is how the deal came to be
This is how the deal came to be
This is how the deal came to be
