lyrics

Fade from white as I sit up straight
And I can't feel my face
I can't tell what's real and what is fake
But I know I didn't dream this

Soon enough my mind will retrace all the
Steps that I made
Decisions on parade and I'll say,
"My god, what was I thinking"

There were things that I did not want to see
There were places I did not want to be
And I was alone

Staring up at the cold metal ceiling
Cluttered thoughts congealing
Gladly free of feeling in the dead heat of time
No consolation

Awful things that I saw in the mirror
I move like nothing's real
And my voice comes through all muffled and out of order
And my words lack any meaning

There were things that I did not want to see
There were places I did not want to be
And I was alone

He slams the brakes as he loses control
His mind becomes a hole as the sky begins to roll
And he knows
It's really over

Soon enough his disinterested savior
Will laugh at his behavior
And quickly accept failure and save the story
For a gap in conversation

There were things that I did not want to see
There were places I did not want to be
And all the flowers were made of stone
