Enchant

Enchant - Distractions lyrics

rate me

Standing alone in a crowded room ,he hears it

A voice so familiar,not unlike his own,he fears it

His name being called out from across the room, but he can't see

He's willingly blindfolded starting towards the voice,but each step leads

Into a dance with a different stranger

His purpose he quickly forgets

Each dance delights till the song is through

But the silence between the songs reminds him what he'd intended to

Do

But the voice-----It knows no time-----Waits patiently

Can't record a wrong,his past it can't see

And if it takes him forever,it'll still be there,waiting jealously

He moves towards the voice,more determined now but still can't see

The music begins and he's pulled away again ,by flattery

Just as with a drug the words purposely inoculate

All puffed up,but silence,,when the music ends,quickly deflates

Now the voice,though never changing, begins to sound to him like a

Shriek

He covers his ears with his hands

Now deaf and blind, he wanders aimlessly

Submerged in the darkness he's forgotten what he was to be

But the voice-----It knows no time-----Waits jealouly

Can't record a wrong,his past it can't see

And if it takes him forever,it'll still be there,waiting patiently

He cannot see the floor is wet, nor does he hear the strangers warn

He slips onto his back and,lying paralyzed,he feels forlorn

The music begins,and strangers whom he trusted leave him there

Helpless and immoblile lying on the floor----and no one cares

But the voice that once was distant sounds as thought it;s right next to

His ear

And no longer the shrieking does he hear

The voice says "WALK" and,suddenly, he knew he would

It says"REMOVE THE BLINDFOLD", suddenly he knew he always

Could

But the voice-----It knows no time-----Waits patiently

Can't record a wrong,his past it can't see

And if it takes him forever,it'll still be there,waiting jealously

But the voice-----It knows no time-----Waits jealously

Can't record a wrong,his past it can't see

And if it takes him forever,it'll still be there,waiting patiently
