Holes in the Story

I heard the bad guy sigh and laugh with a little boy

He held his hand, called him dad and they went home

Black and white gets caught in words before they're known

Happy is what happy does, that you should know

We'll rip holes in the story

I'll rip holes in the story

We'll rip holes in the story

I'll show you

The tales told have grown so old and yet they stick

Growing old doesn't seem so cold if I'm with you

They didn't smile when your hand slipped into mine

But sure did I, couldn't hide it from the lights

We'll rip holes in the story

I'll rip holes in the story

We'll rip holes in the story

I'll show you

Sing it back and they all sound flat

Did they tell you there was more for you to see

We'll spread our colors wide

Your fairytales have lost their spark tonight

The bad guy cried out slow and slumped into his chair

Should we tell you about the demons in your head

They told him follow with the crowd and you'll be fine

Now he's wasted his whole life to stay alive

But we'll rip holes in the story

I'll rip holes in the story

We'll rip holes in the story

I'll show you

They didn't smile when your hand slipped into mine

But sure did I, couldn't hide it from the lights
