Writing On the Wall
One that you could never keep
And how you just breathe it
To everyone that you ever meet
And when I heard it
Second hand, so to speak
I saw that I was someone else
And you became just someone else
And all of the stories
How they just flow right out of your mouth
Now all of their glory
Was not enough to go around
If they're all hungry
Yeah, they're only mouths to feed
And you can all say no
No, I could never say no
But now the writing's on our walls
As the curtains take their call
And we slip through the seams, through the inbetween
Of a truth and a lie, of a God and a sky
Of a widow and bride, of you and I
So bury your weakness
And chew the marrow from the bone
Keep yourself a secret
From all of those who've always known
It's been revealing
Ignore your skin as it peels away
It's been revealing
What you could never begin to explain
There's the writing on our walls
As the curtains take their call
And we slip through the seams, through the inbetween
Of a truth and a lie, of a God and a sky
Of a widow and bride, of you and I
I won't let it happen again (x6)
