you saw a window of time
so you jumped through
and took the glass and the frame down with you
a bloody, broken portrait of what you'd been running from
is this the thrill that you envision
just before the last decision
you remember making?
or are you just that numb?
always dancing with disaster
around your death bed
until you fall asleep on the floor
you say you feel better when you wake up
but you never wake up
you just open tired eyes
in search of something harder than your mind
how does it make you feel this time
to look at me when you can't even say you tried?
no matter what you know
it's no mistake to listen
you never could say no
but still something was always missing
you would tell the greatest story
and share your sacred dreams
but in the morning it's all much too much to believe
I've seen it corner many men
and shake a trembling hand
it's your life they want
but your soul they'll demand
you say you feel better when you wake up
but you never wake up
you just open tired eyes
in search of something harder than your mind
how does it make you feel this time
to look at me when you can't even say you tried?
