put on a shirt
by brent engle

stare at yourself
at the lines between those that define unique form
you have a life full of love
but what's love in the end when you lose your life

put on a shirt
put on a smile
you can love all your life
everything in the world
and if all that you love is a girl
something tells me that's something

walk off the night
break in your soul till the fit is quite nice
we have all that we need
but still we bleed for our wants to be here
and then again

put on a shirt
put on a smile
you can want all you want
anything in the world
but if all that you want is the world
then friend you'll have nothing

candy thoughts of wellness
swirling in our heads
confuse our sense of purpose
with castles made by men

put on a shirt
put on a smile
you can shoulder the weight
of this world so alone
but don't ask for the same in return
because friend you'll have nothing

put on a shirt
put on a smile
you can shoulder the weight
of this world so alone
but don't ask for the same in return
because friend you'll have nothing
