Rosematter - The Dinner Scene lyrics

rate me

My feet hit the pavement. I listen with every inch of my body.<br />

<br />

But maybe it's the clock that laughs at me. Time is a virtue, and I'm a virtuoso.<br />

So, remove all the stitches from your self-addiction.<br />

It's too bad, your too late, take me home.<br />

<br />

Tick-Tock belongs to these gods; give me clearance.<br />

We're merely getting by on fortune, (Sleeping keeps the fortunate alive.)<br />

<br />

I walk for miles. Distance seems comforting, but I'm walking in place, <br />

Bolted to a life that is nothing more to me than pretending, <br />

<br />

Surrounded by a group of actors who call themselves your friends.<br />

Every night, they put on a show; Their personalities are just an act.<br />

Cut and paste beliefs and feelings to look good in the spotlight, <br />

But I leave before intermission.<br />

<br />

I walk for miles. Distance seems comforting, but I'm walking in place, <br />

Bolted to a life that is nothing more to me than pretending, <br />

<br />

I try to find myself, to put back together these pieces, <br />

Only to realize there were never any pieces to begin with.<br />

I stand in the middle of a group of people and blankly agree with the entire conversation.<br />

On the inside I am screaming, <br />

<br />

"Who are these people, and why are they pretending to be my friends?"<br />

Sometimes, it hurts so bad that I clench my stomach and brace myself.<br />

<br />

Oh yeah, by the way, everything you ever thought, everyone you ever thought you knew, <br />

It was a lie; we're all alone. There is nothing left to do but turn the page, <br />

Stare at the blank sheet in all it's glory, and begin all over again for real this time.
