echoes

hide your eyes and turn away,
you cant come out today,
there's no way.
staring through the window pane,
at the pouring rain,
she don't complain.
walk on,
face long,
half gone.
never one for having fun,
always taught to hold your tongue.

so you thought you could please him did you?
so you thought it'd be easy did you?

denied,
the things you wanted more.
in spite,
of what you're asking for.
tonight,
the waves approach the shore.
a chance to escape,
from this twisted space,
and they're knocking at your door.

tell yourself its all ok,
bring in another day,
you cry out in vain.
tangled up and beaten down,
a voice that echoes,
from the ground again.
show's on,
face done,
shame gone.
working 'till the morning sun,
but no one's waiting when you're done.

so you thought you could please him did you?
so you thought it'd be easy did you?

denied,
the things you wanted more.
in spite,
of what you're asking for.
tonight,
the waves approach the shore.
a chance to escape,
from this twisted space,
and they're knocking at your door.

they're gonna try to tell you who you are.
they're gonna try to show you who you are.
they're gonna try to tell you who you are.
they're gonna try to show you who you are.
