Soften You

You were an island
You were wrong for it and you know
Assembled from pieces good pieces
A good heart but broke
Heavy like some kind of metal
And hardened like some kind of stone
Even hard edges and prickly thorns can soften and dull in time

Don't you want to, don't you have to run it off
Run for the babies, take them all with you too
Run long and far to soften you
Hang on the morals, they'll take good care of you
Hang on to soften you

Now confronted
The bedrock shows some cracks
But your safety, your safety is still intact
And it's not some kind of fiction
And it's not some kind of ruse
Now we're all far, now we're all in deep

Don't you want to, don't you have to run it off
Run for the babies, take them all with you too
Run long and far to soften you
Hang on the morals, they'll take good care of you
Hang on to soften you
