Everybody has a secret from their families
We're all poster children posing up in front of someone else
Everybody works as hard as they can
Day in and day out they slave away for money from the man
Everyone who has a path to follow, we all fall at the end
Everyone who tries to find their way gets lost and lost and lost
Everybody has a secret, well your mother knows
She's telling everyone she knows and they're all so fucking judgmental
Call the only friends you have, they won't answer the phone
Call your love and let her know you've never felt more alone
Call the only ones you trust and watch them point and laugh
We're built to hold ourselves, we need help and we can't go back
Call the prisoners out, you'd rather be locked away
Call your daughter to the yard and watch her waste the day
We're all mechanical, part fear of god, part animal
You just want someone you can hold but all you've got is someone you don't know
