Mike Errico, “Everybody Knows”

Stare out of the window all you like
Tell me how you can’t get there from here
Wear out all your welcoming delights
And grieve the ones that whisper in your ear

Hide away where you cannot be found
Tell me how you’ll never learn to fly
Talk a circle perfect and profound
Please don’t dare to look me in the eye

You are scared
We all are scared
We’re brought here naked
Unprepared
And everybody knows

Stare out of the window all you like
And draw the shade if you can’t take the view
Make a wish upon this starless night
Please don’t try to drag me down with you
