The Spark That Bled

I accidentally touched my head

And noticed that I had been bleeding

For how long I didn't know

What was this, I thought, that struck me?

What kind of weapons have they got?

The softest bullet ever shot

I stood up and I said, yeah

I stood up and I said, yeah

I stood up and, I said, hey, yeah, yeah, yeah

From this moment on

Blaring like a trumpet

Comin' from above us

And somewhere below

The confidence of knowing

Descending to relieve us

Of the struggle to believe it's so

I stood up and I said, yeah

I spoke up and I said, hey

I stood up and, I said, hey, yeah, yeah, yeah

And it seemed to cause a chain reaction

It had momentum, it was gaining traction

It was all the rage, it was all the fashion

The outreached hands had resigned themselves to

Holding on to something that they never had

And that's too bad

'Cause in reality there was no reaction

I accidentally touched my head

And noticed that I had been bleeding

For how long I didn't know
