If your heart could see
If your heart could feel
You've shielded your feelings
With armories of steel
Let someone else get into your head
Let your mind be free
Open up to me
Paint the picture memory takes
Share your burden with your loved ones
Categorized emotions kept on the shelf that's buckling under alcoholic pressure
Self enlisted troops marching up against you
Now there's no erasing
Emotional scars
Children don't request
To become a punching bag
Teach the family
Walk a narrow line
Don't look back at what you left behind
Once again a bachelor undefined
Someday I'll see your swollen, wet pupils
And take a mental photo
A shaky checkered past I see
Hiding under your blanket of guilt
Shadowboxing with the pain that was your double life
The sin that engulfed your marriage
