lyrics

Awake to a glorious sky
These bandages make me want to die
Although I am old and although I'm afraid,
I'm alive in my skin. Oh it's grown so thin, it's barely there.

Asleep all day, I'm wasting away
Touch glass, turn away.. it's another day
I know where I was born
and I know where I will die
At the end of the hall my children call "when will you heal for real? when will you come out to play?"

Come out to play
the Queen is town
Lean up your crutch
Life wants your light
Kick out your devil
Call in your clown
and come out to play

There's grass on my knees
there's blood in my mouth
I'm scarring up, I'm molting out.
If Life wants me to be, surely Time will set me free
and the end of the hall won't seem so far
maybe I'll awake and rise, maybe I'll go outside

Go out and play
the Queen is in Town
Lean up my crutch
Life wants my light
Kick out my devil
Call in my clown
and come out to play
