Come close and tiptoenWhisper simplisticnLike chalk on sidewalknOver and overnnThis is all just hearsaynPlacid attachmentsnWar torn embracingnOver and overnnSee teeth just gnashingnBlueblood on blackboardnSwallow a mouthfulnOver and overnnWith the world falling down at a pace that breaks usnRolling like the credits that end againnWe really needed to believe in thisnDerivative irrelevant smoke and mirrorsnnNo more maybe I'm numb, babynNo more hanging pressure in the air so calmnYour honor will they hear me over all that laughternnMummy and daddy I see the pretty gavelsnThey will make all the choices for menI simply move to the pace of angelsnI don't swagger, I just danglennWhy is this so difficult?nBecause I can't seenWhy is this so difficult?nBecause I can't breathennnThis is just transition, nothing morenWatching the world dumb down to an all-time lownnAnd I was stuck in a steady surveillancenof an outpost of ingratesnlocked down and uptightndestined to makeshift ndirections to sunsetnmany more momentsnwere more mal intentionednnso maybe they're winning nwith wisdom we wantednso be it sophia nyour glamour is gonennSo we surrendered, in silence still hopingnHoping, still hoping they're that then and nothing morennOver and overnOver and overnOver and overnOver!n
