AT LONG LAST - Watch It Simmer, Watch It Burn lyrics

The bitter hand, oh so serene The background clock, let the soundtrack sing The remaining days, they ticked so slow Stop it, rewind, and enjoy the show As the hourgla** dared to fall in love with the grain, you heard my heart stop beating with a final sustain With doors locked tight, windows secured The serendipity of life falls to the floor Take me home, to where I am free, to where I can bleed, to where I believe So Ive been told that is my heart is not made of gold, the silver has been sold, the bronze too bitter and cold To ask me why, such a simple question, but hard to comply So dance with me sweet, sing me to sleep Let all the other cares in the world drift away beneath your feet Lets dream of those clouds in the sky that are far away and hard to find Dreams worth fighting for might just come true Thats when I found you Staple me up, and stitch me with yarn Baby blue arms that glow with charm Hold my hand, Im too young to understand Too dumb to take offense, too broken for suspenseful walking lies With my head on straight now, hear me cry
