Gentle nova

So the clock keeps ticking but I'm not moving to the sound of breaking hearts

If I stand still then I'm not noticed, together, silence and me

How should it feel when the novelty is over, down again, on my knees once more

Should I believe that there is hope for us anyway, but I don't know, I never did know

Here we stand on the verge of falling, two alike but never the same

Spinning down like the wheel that's turning round again without an end

I believe in a true introspection and I believe in living a lie

I've been caged and the cage is burning, the key is neatly tucked away

Superstition, I keep learning, all my trust went up in smoke

Sometimes when the world stops turning I know that I'm a world too soon

Driven like the rain that's falling, down again, on our souls once more

All these years I've been searching for shelter to save me from these gathering storms

The clock's still ticking, time comes crawling, the sound of my solitudes metronome

But it's always better than breaking hearts and to find out that you're the one to blame

Still we dance in the house of the dreamer, fire's eating the walls away

But one glance at the world outside and I know that I would rather burn

Down goes the sand slipping through our hands, round go the hands of our speeding clock

But no time wasted when there's no time spent, no crystal ball to see where this all ends

From the wheels of tragedy we never had a chance, to tear it all down and start over again

Come closing in when you start closing down, I know you are, it's all coming round

You closed the door while I kept it open, slammed in the face like a 2-by-4

Then came questions and then no answers, if I only could I would open the door again

No words to keep our worlds together, we were always more strangers than dreamers

But don't be surprised when sometime, someday, a stranger may come knocking at your door
