Slight Of Hand

Remember the nights that we spent talking just like this?
Still we push each other down
Facilitate the days at war with ourselves
To see if we're the ones left standing
The night burns beautiful
With words that line the war machines
That bring us to our knees
You've got me on my knees
I'm begging you, I'm shouting mindless thoughts to the night
To see if anyone's still there
Is anyone still there?
We know in time, we will stand asphyxiated, asphyxiated
When we've made up our minds
No words to cover wounds suffice for
The years spent in regret
And still I lie here
Waiting for the change that follows
Just a word,
Drawn from their lips distorts the normal view
Just a word,
We spend our lives denying what is true
And as I walk with my eyes blinded from the sun
I'm gasping and straining
There's no use complaining
And I can't produce miracles, but I've still got a trick or two
To show you how the rest can paint your mind
And while I cross your eyes with slight of hand
We'll slip into the dream
And leave the world of worry far behind
We know in time, we will stand asphyxiated, asphyxiated
When we've made up our minds
No words to cover wounds suffice for
The years spent in regret
And still I lie here
Waiting for the change that follows
We're still walking
We still wait for change
We're still walking
Waiting for the change that follows
