When They Threw You Away

First day in, eyes darting

Let's get to when, let's get to smarting

The bell rings, the seas are parting

You're in the middle, the sifting's starting

Look for patterns, watch the time

Look for matches, pray for signs

Grab at anything that does not mind

They slap your hand, you cannot climb

When they threw you away, I wonder what they thought you were

When they threw you away

When they threw you away

So hectic, down is up

Antiseptic, the empty cup

The world was wet and was opening, but

There was no room, they beamed you up

When they threw you away, I wonder what they thought you were

I wonder what they thought

When they threw you away, I wonder what they thought you were

When they threw you away

When they threw you away

When they threw you away

When they threw you away

You're on your knees, I am, too

You're in the chapel, I'm in the 'loo

Neither one of us knows what to do,

But we still believe it matters

You let them say what was on their minds

Number one, easy to find

Some piece of paper that some dead men signed

To protect idle chatter

When they threw you away, I wonder what they thought you were

I wonder what they thought

When they threw you away, I wonder what they thought you were

I wonder what they thought

When they threw you away, I wonder what they thought you were

I wonder what they thought when they threw you away

When they threw you away

When they threw you away

When they threw you away
