[Verse 1]
Taken for granted
Taken to task
I lost my bearings, I
I dropped my mask
I'm over the limit
Under the curse
Got sick on the main course, but
Here's the dessert

[Pre-Chorus 1]
You can almost hear a pin drop
Where it hurts the most
You can feel the hammer fall after
Dad finishes His last work

[Chorus 1]
And I know I'm reeling
Life goes so fast
I know I'm bleeding
Yeah, but it's only a scratch

[Verse 2]
And all of your maps
Are torn and rent
The surveyor's findings are of
Dubious content
With all that you swallowed
You're starving like before
The entrance to your dream home looks like
A prison door
[Pre-Chorus 2]
You can almost hear a pin drop
Where it hurts the most
You can feel the hammer fall after
Dad's ugly work

[Chorus 2]
They say that you're dreaming
The third time down fast
And I know I'm bleeding
Yes, but it's only a scratch
It's only a scratch

[Verse 3]
So come all ye weary
Ones that languish
Come ye disconsolate
Sore distressed
I heard my Dad's voice
(I heard my Dad's voice)
Near the river of pain
(River of pain)
Near the river of love
They were one and the same

[Pre-Chorus 3]
You can almost hear a pin drop
Where it hurts the most
You can hear the hammer fall after
Dad finishes His best work
[Chorus 1]
And I know I'm reeling
Life, it goes fast
And I know I'm bleeding
Yeah, but it's only a scratch
It's only a scratch
It's only a scratch
Yes, only a scratch
