Pictures In the Hall

I am skimming like a leaf
on its back across the sidewalk
I am sinking like a thief
twenty minutes after nightfall
I'm shoe laces on the wall
so put a nail right through the eyelet
It's a thought best left for something never done
And I know it's frightening to hear your own
your own voice for the first time
Throwing paintings at the wall
You don't understand the reason
Motion pictures in the hall
Moving shapes, can't tell the difference
I'm an actor with no part
so put a nail inside the socket
It's a thought best left for something never done
And I know it's frightening to hear your own
your own voice for the first time
You knew every word or every motion like a book
but now it's your voice for the first time
Every little thing before it falls apart
Tie a rope around before it starts to drop
Find an empty space before it starts to shake
Feeling good again but then I start to wake
and I, I won't ever change
and I, I won't ever change
and I, I won't ever change
and I, I won't ever change
