To watch the curtain fall
Within an inch of the call
A thousand reasons not one to divulge

The sting of all that was
You medicate so willingly
As we endure the fall
To normalcy

You’re far beyond the underlying forces
Slight in a way untrue, wait
Where’s the worth in holding on
When the rope to which you cling has cut you off

Now it’s not the same
Though I dream awakening to my
Wasted days harboring
The sorrows of a promise set to flames

So why do we grieve
Lying to, we’re lying to
We lie ourselves to sleep

They force what lives out of all
What you turn away
You turn away
You’re far beyond the underlying forces
Slight in a way untrue, wait
Where’s the worth in holding on
When the rope to which you cling has cut you off

You turn away
You turn away
Who told you to wait for me?
Who told you to wait?
Who told you to wait for me?
You turn away (who told you to wait for me?)
You turn away
