lyrics

Reciting lines on the porch, you’re looking lovely in all your courage
one day we’ll get out of here and wish we never showed up in the first place
all this waiting around, but there was nothing to see
then the light and smoke filled in and the black blew in with the breeze
this is a time warp showing decay, a black hole dug by disdain
feel free to speak, however that brings loud bangs, electric pulse
the winds came and suffocated, brought the night down to its knees
these are twisted times our circuits are blown and we’ve been short changed
you didn’t know that i was looking
when you gave a long sigh to the times as it passed us by
you knew it was worth it
but didn’t know it would be recorded
this porch will stand and we’ll stand tall
with our heads pinned to the wall
we didn’t know it was never ending
maybe winter’s a new beginning
this porch will stand and
We’ll stand tall
with our heads pinned to the wall
you didn’t know that i was looking
