Look Not Behind (Live) Lyrics

With a face like wine

And hands like knives

With a tall tale sign

And a car that drives

There's nothin to eat

There's nothin to say

No place to rest your head at the end of the day

You turn off the lights

And rearrange your drawers

Counting the sheep that you once wore

With their eyes like brim stone

And a talent or two

You hope that they don't see what it is you do

You lie to yourself

To make sure they don't know

The satin laced sheets with a glow like rain

Tuning into the same old faces again and again

But without a thought you try to run away

To find a better place

You believed in your heart that you would find it someday

When someday never came

You had to learn how to wait

How to survive

How to eat

How to fight against your fate

How to win with your hand

And how to lend it out

How to help a helpless friend

And how to stomp it out

You've made up your mind

Too little too late

On a silver plate a word

You begin to feel ashamed

You cry as they all laugh at you

You hide to remain amiss

But deep down inside you don't even notice

The hallway of paintings

They capture your glance

With a chip on his shoulder

The king wills you a grant

Too hallow outside

Too close inside

Meet me in the middle

Where it'll be alright

Golden binoculars and a red tattered speck

Hoping to find the fields without any respect

The sun beams down

Covering them with shame

For the forest dwelling lady who has no name

Too Long ago and too far away

You beg yourself to see her

But you always slip away

The rocketteir moon man

With a steely glare

Who has hurt you

Who has done damage beyond repair

Thank God for grace

Thank God for mercy

Thank God it took you to convince me
