Wishing Well

Bitter are the hours, that lie between the days And I've been killing time, it was just another phase The wishing well, the smell, the empty rooms, the lights Don't look To the light Don't look To the light Headlines closing in, the serpents on the rise Sometimes it seems so cold and they got you in a vise The traffic all around, the gasoline, the lies The rockets fly to outer space, another planet dies Prisoners are escaping, they hide inside their minds You just can't hide the truth, so please open up your blinds Father, I'm Scared, I'm scared for everyone Father says be quiet, you'll startle them my son Well where does this leave you, on a moonlit night I'm turning off the television And stare into the light Don't look To the light Don't look To the light Don't look To the light
