Wonder down the dark forgotten hallway of your life
It shimmers like a knife
Just give it time and I'll be there to see it
So you asked, and so I did it just for you
Your words they seemed so true, and you so strong
Now all the lines you've drawn on me are things I can't erase
I wonder what the others see when they try to recognise my face
Dust in the violet circus you can let me breathe
You are what I believe, and everything I'm seeing
Pain from a married man can stop you where you stand
You feel like your left hand is all you own
Funny how we carry on with all the things we hide
But just because you ain't dead it don't mean that you're alive
When did I let you know that I would be ok
That I would never stray into the fray that you pay just to visit
Mr Glad Serene Man I know that you lie
But you won't tell me why, so why believe it
When you act so astounded just to know me
Why do you cast your weary eyes upon me?
When you won't see yourself
What magic did you help?
What favour gave you freely that you look at me so steely?
Something of your madness goes away I the museum
But you don't really see him
And you'd never let him near your little girl
Still you laugh over the table that you've laid
For everything you've paid, you must believe it
You'd never live the kind of life that's hanging on the wall
But when it all comes crashing down, it's everyone who'll fall
