[02:55.69]The sudden realization that not all is what it seems
[03:03.01]Rises somehow exponentially
[03:08.78]It turns from a cry into a wail
[03:14.00]Then a scream and then a howl
[03:18.12]An endless broken dull soliloquy
[03:22.94]
[03:26.11]Pain can force the hand and turn the mind
[03:33.15]The pictures taint the judgement every time
[03:40.61]Then I turn around and see a wreck strewn on the road
[03:48.86]The pictures and the pain you'll never know
[03:54.29]The pictures and the pain that I was good enough
[03:59.05]To keep from scarring you
[04:03.68]Some things are meant for you and you alone
[04:09.25]
[04:11.36]And so I add more fuel to the fire
[04:18.82]And try to find an answer in the pyre
[04:27.22]At first the flames a comfort but the smoke gets in the eyes
[04:34.61]There's only so much left that one can burn
[04:39.74]And now I find I'm dancing 'round the ashes of the bridges that I've burned
[04:49.65]I take nothing from the lessons that I've learned
[04:54.53]
[04:57.27]And so the wheel relentlessly goes round
[05:04.76]Just cuts the rut a little deeper down
[05:12.36]This youthful smile has turned into a frown
[05:17.76]The eyes forever down
[05:21.79]The spark forever drowned
[05:24.33]
[06:42.11]I'll sing as I go
[06:48.53]I've learned well that it's best not to know
[06:56.26]And I use up the last of what's left
[07:02.32]In a vain effort just to forget
[07:07.18]
[07:10.89]This arm contracts as it's pulled
[07:17.55]It's disturbing the calm of the pool
[07:24.32]I am lost in this mournful refrain
[07:29.50]While re-analyzing this stain
[07:35.63]This tainted wreck of lies again
[07:42.69]
[07:45.18]And if what you said is true
[07:52.03]I'm condemned to repeat 'till I'm through
[07:58.69]least until I can learn to forget
[08:03.72]Or learn simply not to notice
[08:07.87]
[08:11.31]And this dream I could weep
[08:17.79]So profoundly I finally could sleep
[08:23.97]Undisturbed by the demons and shades
[08:29.60]And this endless cycle of betrayal
[08:34.01]
[08:35.50]Oh how we fell
[08:42.64]
[08:49.06]Aand how is one supposed to mourn if one is not entirely sure what has died
[09:03.29]And if it's dead and if it's dead and if it's dead and if it's dead why can't I cry
[09:12.50]
[09:17.50]And all the things you told me that you read upon my palm they were lies
[09:30.35]Say that they were lies
[09:39.55]…

The sudden realization that not all is what it seems
Rises somehow exponentially
It turns from a cry into a wail
Then a scream and then a howl
An endless broken dull soliloquy
Pain can force the hand and turn the mind
The pictures taint the judgement every time
Then I turn around and see a wreck strewn on the road
The pictures and the pain you'll never know
The pictures and the pain that I was good enough
To keep from scarring you
Some things are meant for you and you alone
And so I add more fuel to the fire
And try to find an answer in the pyre
At first the flames a comfort but the smoke gets in the eyes
There's only so much left that one can burn
And now I find I'm dancing 'round the ashes of the bridges that I've burned
I take nothing from the lessons that I've learned
And so the wheel relentlessly goes round
Just cuts the rut a little deeper down
This youthful smile has turned into a frown
The eyes forever down
The spark forever drowned
