You Made Your Bed, Now You Lay In It 50.1 [EXPLICIT]

[Verse]
Consider the gander who was reaching for the sky
Caught in a storm as the years went passing by
A career put on hold while the truth was hard to see
Fighting for the gander that he knew himself to be
The field is empty now and the stands are quiet too
While the wind blows lonesome where the summer spirit grew.

[Verse]
There’s a gander on the subway in the heart of the night
Trying to find a way to make the shadows feel right
He stepped in the middle when the world began to shake
Now he’s carrying the weight of the choices ganders make
The cameras are turning and the headlines start to roll
As the city takes a measure of a weary, honest soul.

[Verse]
For twenty-odd years there’s been a melody in play
About the distance growing wider every single day
Songs on the wire telling geese and ganders to stand apart
Building up a fortress 'round a guarded, heavy heart
It’s a rhythm of division that we’ve hummed along to long
Until we lost the harmony inside the common song.

[Spoken Word Begins Here] [Intermission Anthem Begins Here]
The bed is made and the house is getting still.
There’s a lonesome shadow sitting on the windowsill.
We asked for the space and we asked for the line.
Now the geese and ganders are just trying to make it through the time.
You can’t expect the fire to stay burning in the cold.
When the story being written is the only one that’s told.

[Spoken Word Ends Here] [Intermission Anthem Ends Here]

[Verse]
The standards are rising like the tide against the shore
And geese aren't looking for the things they sought before
The "Boss Goose" spirit is a path that's walked alone
Building up a kingdom on a solitary throne
It’s a brave new world with a high and lonely view
I’ve reached for a door just to be a helpful hand
And felt the hesitation that has settled on the land
Kindness is a language that is getting hard to speak
When every simple gesture is a mountain high and steep
It’s a cautious walk we’re taking on a crowded city street
Where the geese and ganders never look and the gazes never meet.

[Verse]
I remember a night when the neon lights were low
I remember a night when the neon lights were low
And a disagreement started in a place I used to know
A gander tried to help just to keep the peace alive
And found out that the drama is what helps some geese survive
It’s a tangle of a struggle that is deeper than it shows
And where the trouble started, only heaven really knows.

[Verse]
So when the car is stalled out on the shoulder of the way
And the wheels are spinning in the heat of midday
The world keeps on moving with a steady, distant hum
As we reflect on the geese and ganders we’ve finally become
It’s a quiet realization in the middle of the air
That the road is much longer when there’s no one left to care.

[Verse] The town is quiet as the seasons start to turn There are lessons in the silence that the flock is forced to learn The doors stay heavy and the smiles are hard to find As a change in the weather leaves the old ways behind It’s a long road traveled through a cold and shifting rain Looking for the sunshine through a window full of pain.
