Lyrics
[verse]
Read a story folded in the morning news,
A man who couldn't find his way to choose,
Nobody stopped to hear what he could tell,
They just sighed and rang the bell.
[verse]
I woke up late and combed my hair,
Caught the early bus but didn't care,
Watched the ceiling turn to smoke,
Somewhere between the dream and the joke.
[chorus]
And I saw it all unfold,
Like a picture, gray and cold,
Turning pages, turning years,
Watching strangers dry their tears.
[verse]
Empty windows in a crumbling hall,
Nobody stopped to count them all,
Counted shadows on the wall instead,
Lost the numbers in my head.
[bridge]
Rising up, a wall of sound,
Spinning faster off the ground,
Everything at once and gone,
Silence holding on and on.
[chorus]
And I saw it all unfold,
Like a picture, gray and cold,
Turning pages, turning years,
Watching strangers dry their tears.
