Valley South

Caught your stare
Through the mirror hanging on the wall
Picture it all
So well
With nothing to break your fall
Who they want me to be isn't someone you can count on
Left with a standing ovation, from a crowd already gone

My mind is racing
Scraping my knees on the pavement
with a heart made up of bruises
I'm impatient
and I'm losing my
will to think it over
I've been waiting for ya to move
And I'm here
But I'll wait forever more

My mind lives in your valley south
My words they're dripping from her mouth
I wish that things were different now
From when it all came crashing down

Lost your eyes in a typhoon of your cry
I know you try so hard
And they don't even ask why
Who you really are
I thought I knew all along
Left standing by the station with a train already gone

Embers fade in this masquerade
Shadows they fall to the edge of the lawn
Poised in my defiance
Fuck your self-reliance
I won't breathe until the dawn

But I can manage
I'll take your hand
Dig my feet into the sand
I'm crying out for some amount
Of forever more

Two days out
I'm running out of time
We can't go back from a crossed line
The open windows lets the rain in
You can't hear what i'm saying
Anymore
