Cast Off

歌詞

Your cast was taped over with plastic bags 'Cause you wanted to wade in the waves You held your arm high but the water got in And it itched like hell the next day The strength that you need, you doubted The cast was getting rotten inside But what would it feel like without it Weakness needs a place to hide Doc said the cast is gonna have to come off Try to get by with a brace You opened your fingers so slowly at first With a terrified look on your face I knew what that look on your face meant Though you didn't have courage to speak You wished they would cast a replacement You felt broken like you're way too weak But the doctor explained what would happen You atrophy the longer it stays If you wear an old cast like it's fashion What's beneath will just wither away Have mercy for lives that are shattered Cast with hard doctrine and creed If it's only the idols that mattered Plaster would be all they need
