Show Me Everything

Show me! Show me!

Complexities, treacheries

We watch through glass, we see nothing

Latex on my fingertips

We touch through glass, we feel nothing

All we’ve carried, all we’ve owned

Scattered like stones

All the mess, all the wrong turns

We could take these stones, we could build something

We could try forever, for trying’s sake

And survive alone

You show me everything (Show me! Show me!)

You show me everything I can’t afford

So many new moons to pull us around

So many new stars to guide us

So what d’you say?

You show me everything I can’t afford

Bound together, separate

Take these stones, build something

Define the walls, decorate

Our mouths on the glass, we believe we taste

Everything we could have had

Everything that belongs to us

Words said in anger and in grief

Take theses stones

Throw something

We could celebrate

We could drop the bomb

And it makes no odds whatever side you’re on

Back again [?], hesitate

The glass that holds the very air we breathe

And you, you show me everything, I can’t afford

Yeah you, show me everything
