4.40 Hours
lately after dark i've been wandering through the park
with the angry words you said
wandering through my head
there's nothing i can do
to keep from feeling like i blew
the only chance i had to make it better
the shadow on the wall is looking down from 10 feet tall
and i wonder what it sees
as i stumble through the streets
to never feel alone
it seemed written down in stone
but now its all i can do to try and forget her
40 hours and counting
i could shut my eyes
and sleep here
warning comes and goes
and i'm tangled in the throws
in the stillness of my room
and the bandage on my wound
my heart becomes a bird
she said freely just a word
and now i'm wishing that i had never met her
40 hours and counting
i could shut my eyes
and sleep here
people rushing by
out the corner of my eye
a kaliediscope of bloom
a mirror broke in two
a thousand little stars
and a million little wars
scattered out upon the open desert
40 hours and counting
i shut my eyes
and sleep here
a world is set ablaze
by a never ending haze
and you're closer than a tear
i see you everclear
the rush is in the veins
and there's nothing else to blame
but every minute, every hour, every second
40 hours and counting
i shut my eyes
and sleep here
shut my eyes and sleep to dream...
lately after dark i've been wandering through the park
with the angry words you said
wandering through my head
there's nothing i can do
to keep from feeling like i blew
the only chance i had to make it better
