A misprint, a mistake, an itch without scratches
A fire that rages, combusts without matches
An error, a defect, no QA to test it
A difference, malignant, creeps up without notice
Unnerving, disturbing, and socially distant
Slow motion, compulsion, a routine persistent
The noise and the chaos, retreat in a vacuum
Emerging victorious half-cut in the bar-room
(Chorus)
Peel back the bark and see the rings
Layer on layer of ancient paint
Applied each year to mask
The rotting underneath
And camouflage the swelling on the brain
A feeling, an interest, the love without loving
The smalltalk, the silence, and push comes to shoving
The inside, the outside, intentioned deceiving
A liar, pariah, a mental glass ceiling
No rudder, no wind and marooned in the doldrums
A secret, exposed, that’s now out in the open
The helpers, the allies, the selfless supporters
Thrown into the breach, with arms out they caught us
