We all have got a role to play
The lioness, she stalks her prey
He's bleeding in the tall grass
Unaware his thrashing makes him easier to follow
But when she gets him in her claws
She'll invite him in because
Her cave is not a home without him
Just a hole that is lonely and hollow
And can't you see the writing on the wall
Is drawing us together?
It's written there in soot and ash and blood
And that's furever
And so if you are terrified
Of what you hide, remember
That I'm still on your side
And that's furever, furever
We all have got a role to play
You'll be filling yours someday
And I'll be filling mine
Until then we're killing time
Hunting monsters in our minds
And when I see you standing strong
Pretending you don't want to play along
I'll never make you blue (or make you pay)
I'll tackle you into a pile to unwind
And can't you see the writing on the wall
Is drawing us together?
It's written there in soot and ash (soot and ash)
And that's furever
And so if you have been denied
Choke up your pride, remember
That I am on your side
And that's furever, furever, furever
I don't have to argue
Everybody knows you have issues
You lay your colors bare (in a manner of speaking)
I'll be there
When you finally decide to bare your heart
It's the part I want to share
And I don't have to argue
Everybody knows you have issues
You wear them on your sleeves (so to speak)
I'm not a thief
The only jewels that I need are your diamonds
And I find them following
The bows and arrows in your words
The words behind your broken teeth
The broken glass that's under foot, and paw and hoof
The high and low, whatever nonsense you believe
The vast unknown laid out ahead
The tears and anger, good and bad
The big adventure still at hand, and paw and whiskers
Grey, blue, red, whatever - I will understand
And can't you see the writing on the wall
Is drawing us together?
We're written there in soot and ash and blood
And that's furever
And so if I've been too discrete
Let me repeat, remember
That I'm still on your side
And that's furever, furever, furever
