When faith went blind I could see light
Through her
Her vigils in the street left
My youth incomplete
Left meaning obsolete
Sleep I can't sleep / she can speak
But she can't tell time
Dream I can't dream / she can scream
But she can't tell time
She can't tell time she didn't get
What she deserved
When faith went blind she found the truth
But lost her nerve
When she won't act her age
The cat circles round the cage
Youth shrinks to tired rage
She can't tell time it's not listening to her When faith went blind I could see light Through her Her vigils in the street left My youth incomplete Left meaning obsolete Sleep I can't sleep / she can speak But she can't tell time Dream I can't dream / she can scream But she can't tell time She can't tell time she didn't get What she deserved When faith went blind she found the truth But lost her nerve When she won't act her age The cat circles round the cage Youth shrinks to tired rage Explain Request ×
