Paisley Heart

There was a boy from the South Coast
He had some toys and a few clothes
He had a voice but his mouth closed
He knew some things that he shouldn't have
Like how to leave when it's real bad and
The definition of a real man
That he never had

And when he was too exposed he felt his heart close
Built a wall made out of bicycles
Distance 44 kilometres

So he set off on a vision quest
To heal his wounds and to get perspective
The land was calling in the desert red
He drew strength from every dark place
He shed skins with every heartbreak
He grew wings and every animal grace

Boy reclaim your tenderness
Every little bit of the emptiness
Boy return to the wilderness
Where the endlessness of your heart
Needs no walls to protect you
Bring them down
Mmm uuh

These heart walls
They must come down
Some time
These heart walls
Must come down
Some time

Oooh so bring them down

Bring them down
Boy you can cry
It's alright, it's alright
Bring them down
Boy you can cry
It's alright, it's alright

How can a man who was never taught
Learn how to be soft if he thought
That it was weak to be vulnerable
