|
I picked up the phone, you were both on the line
|
Your words to each other froze me in time
|
A lifetime between us just burnt on the wires
|
Dissolved in a dial tone, consumed in your fires
|
Your footsteps beside me, the phone in my hand
|
I can't move
|
I can't stand
|
|
Our faces in pieces, facades on the floor
|
The pretense between us for a moment destroyed
|
I don't want to go on with these words in my heart
|
But the ghost of your anger will tear us apart
|
How my little world just went up in smoke
|
I'm too young
|
I'm too old
|
|
One day soon I'll know
|
One day soon I'll just let it go
|
|
I run from the bedroom with legs paralyzed
|
I carve out my future part prophet, part blind
|
It's nobody's business, no one is to blame
|
We'll meet in the distance, new numbers new names
|
I've lifted the veil, I've walked through the fire
|
I'll move on
|
I'll go higher
|
