Have you read the script? Could you picture it? … Is it worth the risk? Everything I love Is on the line On these neon signs But I need to know- When you looked away Was it something that I said? Was it something that I said? Well okay, okay, I need you more than I did before Now that the concrete is nearly set Here in the second act I’m living in repair Strange how the heart adapts when its pieces disappear And there, on page 28, I’m so tired of drying glue I begin my grand attempt at building something new Though I tend to write The epiphany more immediately I guess I’m trusting that there’s such a thing As elegance in dissonance God, I’m skeptical of pulling scenes Was it something that I said? Was it something that I did? Please don’t get me wrong- I still need your help As history repeats itself Here in the aftermath, I’m pulling at the seams Strange how the heart adapts in the absence of routine And there, on page 29, I find “new” and make it mine But I can’t help casting shadows on all I leave behind Maybe I could afford to change a bit… Even let go of the reigns? Every torn out page was worth the risk Now that the stakes have been raised So here in the final draft, I’ve given all I have Strange how the heart expands in the absence of a plan There’s nothing left on the page, but I’m okay with that For I found my resolution Was designed for stronger hands
