What were you so afraid of You're grinding inside, in pain, but the sparks are bright You started to run, you started splitting atoms for fun You fought in hundreds of wars You got married, got a divorce Set you bed on fire, and slept on the floor You're manic and breathless Humble, a tyrant, prophetic, all in once sentence, I know Such is your power, I stand I stand, humble, before you And you might be a champion of unrestricted beauty But so often you fail, and that's nothing to be ashamed of Remember what you said? What were you so afraid of You're grinding inside, in pain, but the sparks are bright Before you 'how dare you' me, take a look at yourself Don't punish me for telling the truth And you might be a champion of unrestricted beauty But so often you fail, and that's nothing to be ashamed of Remember what you said? What were you so afraid of You're grinding inside, in pain, but the sparks are bright
