Echoes

Laid out in pieces Wed to the floor Friends all caught dancing Out the back door Not leaving darkness Not leaving light They didn't bring nothing But fit in all right They don't deserve my withering eye, I It echoes a longing they can't recognize, I Not one to shake a Ship from its course Me and my ideals Split by divorce You shrug at the burden You shrug off the cost And into the fire With feelings you've lost But you don't deserve my withering eye, I It echoes a longing you can't recognize, I Caught in a slide And I'm falling right off of my feet Lost between the tides And suckered down to my knees You don't deserve my withering eye, I It echoes a longing you can't recognize, I Bred of suspicion The wolf at the door Sprung from your mind With a thundering roar Stories and histories Undone by its teeth 'Til permanent failure Was all you could see But I don't deserve your withering eye, I It echoes a longing I can't recognize, I I, I
