All the time we spent on settling I've played the middle man to much to leave It's the furthest point we'll ever be And it's not enough Build it up so they can see And speak your mind with a subtlety It's the common thread that unravels me And it's not enough for you to hang it up How are we supposed to be alive and breathe without a pulse? I seem to stay where I don't belong Then you walk away And say we paint a pretty face But scenery is what you want
I don't know if this is part of your plan Cause what I have mind you won't understand I've been tied to your ropes like a marionette But you know I've been right more than you'd like to admit I feel like I've been controlled By the curse of someone else's gold And I'm stuck here on an empty shore With a sun that's never set before The years we planned It's not enough The sleight of hand It's not enough Here we go again It's not enough
