Lower Your Pieces

Open your eyes and show me what's inside
Let me explain these shuffling feet and tired arms
Do up your coat to protect yourself
From what has been in the end of all things

Let the wind blow across your face
In a sea of smiles you were the only one in tears
So they came to lighten my load
And they were singing,
What was it for? (Repeated)

So look around
Mostly the view is beautiful
But there's more than just fingertips
So in this room separated from the world
I'd sell you my own values for the sake of others
So hold this glass cos' it keeps cutting me
Try to focus on the image of a good guy
Try not to cry. And I'm singing..
What was it for? (Repeated)
