I thought that if I could shake this I'd grow up, at least Grow into something or someone That I could understand I've only deteriorated Myself and those close to me A cause we never knew was lost Well before the beginning It goes on and on and on Won't get home till after dawn A love that crushes like a mace Until the words won't come out Leaving home behind before Broken glass and Ivy stands And the words won't come out So the stage will collapse Will the ice endure the weight of our crimes Will these swollen stairs bind my wrists? From the carousel / I've fallen on shaky knees These images we weaved / Always held defeat I offered my hand / And my heart as a steed And I swear you held your own through clenched teeth The sun is gone / the lights / have left this place / left us blind Left us tripping over each other in a crippling fear of being locked inside together Ruby and opal shed faint light What you had left was enough I wanted to know If there was ever a chance If you think about all you've done And have any regrets I know i wanted to go And leave all that was made I've given up on the chance Built up regret But you forget that You forgot that, didn't you?
