In the bigger picture I've been painted out 
Cracks in the earth blacken the sea 
No canvas is reserved for me 
Look up close and try to see 
In every stroke lies past alone

Too close to home 
Cutting too close to bone 
The ink has dried and words reveal 
Too close to home 
Cutting too close to the bone 
It's too easy to admit defeat

You aren't a child fighting in a war 
Son please don't tell me that this is bored 
Tear your things out from the earth 
Long departed we're so short sighted

Too close to home 
Cutting too close to bone 
The ink has dried and words reveal 
Too close to home 
Cutting too close to the bone 
It's too easy to admit defeat

Too close to home 
Cutting too close to bone 
The ink has dried and words reveal 
Too close to home 
Cutting too close to the bone 
It's too easy to admit defeat
