(Brackets contains drum sounds…)
(Dum dada dum dum)

Today was a day of excruciating pain

(Da dum dada)

Inside of course, not out on display

(Dum dum da)

I just hold it in and smile for show

(Dada dada da)

As sometimes it’s just seems easier that way

(Dum dum dum)

It’s surprising how simple it becomes

(Da Ta dum dum)

To pretend all is well and good

(Dum data dum)

I know that those who know me well

(Da da da da da)

Would do something to help if they could 

(Dum a dum a dum)

There’s no quick fix, no bandaid will do

(Dum dum da duuuum)

And I see them hurting, because of me,

(Do do do dum)

When they bear witness to my pain 

(Dum da da da dat)

So, I hide it away where they can’t see

(Da da da da da dada)

I’m not sure this helps anyone of us

(Dum tra la dum)

Playing parts in this strange charade 

(Dum Ta dum Ta)

But the game continues to be played

(Dum dum dum dum)

We just keep marching in the same parade. 

 (Dum dum dum da dum dum da)

And, hey, parades are fun right??!!
