lyrics
The Curtain
I want to tell you a story,
I want to sing you my song,
But I would like to warn you,
I may remember it wrong,
Because the details are faded
And the perspective is mine,
You might say that I’m jaded,
But I ain’t crossing no lines!
It’s just a moment in time yeah,
Where we should’ve been wiser,
But the clock keeps ticking,
the Earth keeps spinning
and the curtain falls away,
We’re just a spec in this space where,
We have seen some disgrace here,
Now the veil keeps thinning,
The wizard’s no magician,
And the curtain falls away!
My opinion is valid,
You know I don’t think wrong,
Give me more speculation,
Over facts all day long
You’ve got too many questions,
And want answers for all,
But your kinda forgetting,
I ain’t broken no rules.
It’s just a moment in time yeah,
Where we should’ve been wiser,
But the clock keeps ticking,
the Earth keeps spinning
and the curtain falls away,
We’re just a spec in this space where,
We have seen the disgrace here,
Now the veil keeps thinning,
The wizard’s no magician,
And the curtain falls away!
Take a walk with me down the rabbit hole,
Falling fast we’re pulled into this black hole,
Where the rules do not apply
Take a look with me into the looking glass,
Where we find ourselves at an impasse,
To find the truth or buy the lie…
I listened to your stories,
I listened to your songs,
But nobody warned me,
That you were steering me wrong,
Now your presence has faded,
And I’ve found my own mind,
And yet it’s left me jaded,
Broken and disinclined
It’s just a moment in time yeah,
Where we should’ve been wiser,
But the clock keeps ticking,
the Earth keeps spinning
and the curtain falls away,
We’re just a spec in this space where,
We have seen the disgrace here,
Now the veil keeps thinning,
The wizard’s no magician,
And the curtain falls away!
We’re just a moment in time yeah,
Where we should’ve been wiser,
But the clock keeps ticking,
the Earth keeps spinning
and the curtain falls away,
We’re just a spec in this space where,
We have been the disgrace here,
Now the veil keeps thinning,
The wizard’s no magician,
And the curtain falls away!
