Don't Be Sad Lyrics - The Weeks

What God took a razor cut holes in our face 

Two to hear, two to see, one to smell, one to taste 

I'm shaking hand with precision and grace 

Which everyone gets only sometimes 

No one was righteous, we all came out wrong 

Some of us were too short, too fat, or too tall 

We kept on cutting and sewing up cloths 

And built someone fit for a savior 

Don't be sad, we were all thrown away 

But there's enough of us crumpled up people to find somebody 

Take a look in my bag, it's the meaning of youth 

Nothing, but emptiness, innocence, cigarettes, and that brown recluse 

And please keep me out of your history books 

I've been known for the places and the hands that I've shook 

Cut us to sinners, singers, and crooks 

Still couldn't get what he longed for 

We wandered around and learned how to speak 

Wanted so badly to pray or to preach 

Some all-seeing father so far out of reach 

Didn't even bother trying 

Don't be sad, we were all thrown away 

But there's enough of us crumpled up people to find somebody 

Take a look in my bag, it's the meaning of youth 

Nothing, but emptiness, innocence, cigarettes, and that brown recluse 

Don't be ashamed if you're seeking a friend 

A beautiful reason to die in the end 

It's why we're all here just searching mistakes 

Little too much like the father 

We're destined to be little stains in the pane 

Pick us and chip us and throw us away 

Some color will shine through from some yesterday 

So you never forget where you came from 

Don't be sad, we were all thrown away 

But there's enough of us crumpled up people to find somebody 

Take a look in my bag, it's the meaning of youth 

Nothing, but emptiness, innocence, cigarettes, and that brown recluse
