They All Think It’s You

Everybody’s crazy now

Everything is crazy too

I hear all the words they say

There’s no way they’re all true

This world makes you believe a lie

And fight against the truth

Everybody’s crazy now

And they all think it’s you.

I’ve been watching it all fall apart

Since I was just a kid

Back when I ran barefoot

And wasn’t shamed when I did

Something heavy landed here

That we can’t see but know

It’s heavy and it’s suffocating

But we’ve got nowhere else to go.

Living in this lie right here

Not knowing if you’ll disappear

Wondering who is even real

Who has a heart and who can feel—

The understanding’s harder than

Not knowing where you really stand

And eyes that recognize the night

Know how to keep the tears from sight

What happened to the innocence?

Does anybody even care?

Why can’t I reach and touch someone

And he not become the air?

I didn’t lose just one that day

I lost the cover for my eyes

Now I see the empty soulless stares

Now I hear all the lies

Once in a while I touch the dirt

And I go home again

But I jerk my hand back to the hurt

Because I know that I can’t

Even though I suffer more

Than anyone needs to know

And even though I feel the pain

I still can’t just go

The only thing that moment

Could never steal from me

Was the love I’ll hold until that day

When I can be set free

I thought that I was finished

I thought that death had won

I thought my life was over

The day I lost my son

But in spite of eyes wide open

To evil impossible to forgive

Beyond a doubt my life is now

Worth every moment that I live

So I don’t care who’s real

It doesn’t matter what they do

What they think of me (if they think)

That’s their problem too

I will try to stand

When I fall—get up again

And when I see the evil

I’ll know love will always win.
