Step forward
Off a bell curve
Now come and claim your prize
You're throwing sparks in a field of matches
Yeah, you shouldn't be surprised
One moment of weakness
One for the rank and file
Too many nights spent running for cover and you,
You'd wear a cynical smile
What once was forgotten
Is pouring up from the ground
Back-scattered by the wind
Would it matter?
Would you lose it and forget?
Forget it.
You were never going to read the letter
Still, I wanted you to see it anyhow
Don't take what you believed had awakened you and
Forget it
You were never going to read the letter
Still, I wanted you to see it anyhow
Whatever you believe has forsaken you is
Forgiven
Forgiven
