Please Do Not Tap On the Glass

they’re starting to open up the sky

they’re starting to reach down through

and it feels like we’re living in that split-second

of a car crash

and time is slowing down

and if we only had a little more time

than this time

is all we have

do you remember the time we

and all the times we

and should have

and were going to

i know

and i know you remember

how we could justify it all

and we knew better

in our hearts we knew better

and we told ourselves it didn’t matter

and we chose to continue

and none of that matters anymore

in the hour of our twilight

and soon it will be all said and done

and we will all be back together as one

if we will continue at all

shame on us

doomed from the start

may god have mercy

on our dirty little hearts

shame on us

for all we have done

and all we ever were

just zeros and ones

and you never get away

and you never get to take the easy way

and all of this is a consequence

brought on by our own hand

if you believe in that sort of thing

and did you ever really find

when you closed your eyes

any place that was still

and at peace
