When the pin drops suddenly |
|
All the shapes and shadows flee |
|
And the world in front of me comes tumbling down |
|
Like a king on a matchstick throne |
|
Who gave away everything he owned |
|
And he's finally forced upon his ... crown |
|
And I wander and drift and the scenery shifts |
|
Minutes quickly turn into days |
|
And I wish I could know how the ending will go |
|
But it's always moving further away |
|
Suddenly the sidewalk ends in the tangle of wilderness |
|
And I'm not sure just which turn I took was wrong |
|
The comfort of company, it's a ghost of a memory |
|
And I traded it long ago, yeah, for a song |
|
And I wander and drift and the scenery shifts |
|
Minutes quickly turn into days |
|
And I wish I could know how the ending will go |
|
But it's always moving further away |
|
And these tiny black marks |
|
Suddenly, the stars explode and the sky's all full of hopes |
|
I could fill 'em one by one, yeah, one by one |
|
With a flicker from my head, ripped out of a book I read |
|
And they tried to show me that I'm never done |
|
And I wander and drift and the scenery shifts |
|
Minutes quickly turn into days |
|
And I wish I could know how the ending will go |
|
But it's always moving further away |
