To the bridge!
I guess we need to build it first,
What about the rest?
Are they strong enough to make it to the end?
Where are you now?
Nowhere to be found.
Can’t you see it’s changing?
There’s no time to stay calm, to keep close or stay warm,
Don’t make this worse, just run until you’re home.
Don’t make this worse,
Raise your head, your hand, now pick up the pen,
The dotted line is your only friend.
Now’s your chance to be someone.
We found a pawn, to speak aloud,
To fill the air, to calm the crowd.
Years of cold
Pervade the young and old.
We all want to answer the call but no one hears the tone,
Whispering reasons to not scream out loud.
Is this as good as it gets, or am I missing out?
This again,
Misery, my only friend.
It appears I’m trapped inside but I can’t see the walls.
I’m finally coming home, to stay close, to stay calm, to stay warm
Like before those teeth and jackets.
Just smile and shake hands, you’ll fit right in.
You’ll be a child, you’ll be a man.
You’ll be alone, get used to that.
You’ll be above, they’ll be below.
Now, just smile and shake hands.
Soon you’ll fit right in like the best of them.
We’ll count the time by the breaths we take,
We’ll leave them breathless in our wake.
I’m not coming home.
This is my happy family.
Smile and shake my hand.
Look at me fitting in like the best of them.
I am king,
History in the making.
Let’s all join hands, pay tribute to the awful sound.
This is the ringing of the bell.
Let’s all join hands.
