A Story Told...

Blow out that fire
There's no trail of smoke behind
Somehow the blowtorch ignited
I don't remember how we got here
But I'm sure that we'll find this trail of breadcrumbs
Will take us nowhere and you
And I made up this world of fiction for you
To protect you

Where do all the wild things go to
When the night is over
And you may finally have slept through it all

And why do we continue to fool
Ourselves into these things set us up
To suffer and fall

Blow out your candles
There are no more wishes to buy
Can I fill up your cup it's half empty

I try to justify the way I feel
But always end up nearly heading into the ether
I stand by this world of lies for you
To protect you

Where do all the wild things go to
When the night is over
Soon we'll finally have slept through it all

And why do we continue to fool
Ourselves into these things set us up
To suffer and fall

Out that fire
There's no trail of smoke behind
Somehow the blowtorch ignited
I try to justify the way I feel
But always end up nearly heading into the ether

And I made up this world of fiction for you
To protect you
I stand by this world of lies for you
To protect you

Where do all the wild things go to
When the night is over
And you may have finally slept through it all

And why do we continue to fool
Ourselves into these things set us up
To suffer and fall

Suffer and fall
