All the change I've ever wanted
Is not the kind that fits in my pocket
It's the change you mentioned
In all the promises you never kept
Yet I held on tight to all of that
As you slowly tugged and teased
I looked back, for just a moment
And completely lost my grip
So here I am blaming my very own hands
Innocent until proven guilty, but they hold evidence
Against me, against you, for what we didn't do
But should have done, we should have won
And now you're trapped inside a glass box
You can see everything you can't reach
So you turn to another source for help
And imagine the box is where you want to be
Why can't you see?
There's so much more you could be doing
Why can't you see?
A better life you could be living
Why can't you see?
Because you're too busy hallucinating
If you find this all too much to bear
Because my words aren't exactly what's nice to hear
If you think it better to walk away,
Because that's all the strength left and nothing to say
Then take your steps, but count each one
Because that's how many you'll need
when you realize what you've done
And when you get here you will see
Only the shadow of what used to be
Hello Closure, how nice of you to join us
We were just talking about you and I
And how we've finally arrived.
