about
(M. Penco/C. Schneider/K. Brower/D. Miller)
lyrics
Strewn, rolling along
Settle in ways that
Only certain memories can make
Wielding a pastime
All alone
A face of stone across enemy lines
Fools rushing the doors
Trample the years of
Pleas that no one ever claimed to hear
Booking the next flight
Feel the pull
Notice the wool slip over your eyes
Clouds no longer lined in silver
Misfortune's cross to bear
Public cries and fond admissions
The people stop and stare
Recessed impulse, halted progress
It is not quite what they suggest
Oh, the final word rings muted
Bold diversions, fate excluded
Sneer in my face while I'm struggling to thrive
My thoughts on that issue stand
I'm barely alive
And giving it all while emerging from depths
They'll likely forget how to impart respect
Some thanks are still due
But let's just surmise
The effort meant nothing
They're withholding the prize
Bright filaments glow
And suddenly burn out
Energy was wasted long ago
Surviving a landslide
The will is gone
The facts all wrong
It's starting to show
Settle in ways that
Only certain memories can make
Wielding a pastime
All alone
A face of stone across enemy lines
Fools rushing the doors
Trample the years of
Pleas that no one ever claimed to hear
Booking the next flight
Feel the pull
Notice the wool slip over your eyes
Clouds no longer lined in silver
Misfortune's cross to bear
Public cries and fond admissions
The people stop and stare
Recessed impulse, halted progress
It is not quite what they suggest
Oh, the final word rings muted
Bold diversions, fate excluded
Sneer in my face while I'm struggling to thrive
My thoughts on that issue stand
I'm barely alive
And giving it all while emerging from depths
They'll likely forget how to impart respect
Some thanks are still due
But let's just surmise
The effort meant nothing
They're withholding the prize
Bright filaments glow
And suddenly burn out
Energy was wasted long ago
Surviving a landslide
The will is gone
The facts all wrong
It's starting to show
