My medicine and my magazines keep me in line
My photograph and my home movies remind me all the time
Late at night when I can't sleep, I think of work and what it does for me with an empty mind
Later on when I hit the deep, I hear a voice willing and calling me to make it right
Open your heart and close the wound
Watch your scars fade like a summer moon
I've been hearing that there's more to you
So be like I heard
Reignite your word
Banish the curse
Before you go and get worse
The greedy one and the needy one, they breathe the same air
The drive within and the pulse to sin, ah, the symptoms that they share
It's the vaulting ambition to receive and to bleed paperless boundaries
It's the nervous condition that never leaves, it fills your conscience while your soul lays empty, while your soul lays empty
Open your heart and close the wound
Watch your scars fade like a summer moon
I've been hearing that there's more to you
So be like I heard
Reignite your word
Banish the curse
Before you go and get worse
You're hurting though you're not crying
You're bruising though you're not fighting
Fighting for castles in Spain
You're hurting though you're not crying
You're bruising though you're not dying
Dying for castles in Spain
(And living) Living for castles in Spain
Living, living for castles in Spain
Oh Kingdom come remove the pain
