lyrics

Candles are dripping
Time is coming undone
Leaving your to do list
Under the gun
Now the jaws of God are wide open
It’s just not what
You were hoping
Get hoping for the best
Off of your chest
Settle down with some kind of reason
A rhyme or something that you can say
To assure yourself that you’ve gone the way
Of the dream you tried to realize
But came out a little different
Truth is only static when
Its lit up by headlights
Hailing down a cab and headed
Towards some kind of insight
Swallowed the door to find a key
The lock is locked inside of me
Get hoping for the best
Off of your chest
Settle down with some kind of reason
A rhyme or something that you can say
To assure yourself that you’ve gone the way
