Gentle Nova lyrics
So the clock keeps ticking but I'm not moving to the sound of breaking hearts
If I stand still then I'm not noticed, together silence and me
How should it feel when the novelty is over down again, on my knees once more
Should I believe that there is hope for us anyway but I don't know, I never did know
Here we stand on the verge of falling, two alike but never the same
Spinning down like the wheel that's turning round again without an end
I believe in a true introspection and I believe in living a lie
I've been caged and the cage is burning, the key is neatly tucked away
Superstition, I keep learning, all my trust went up in smoke
Sometimes when the world stops turning I know that I'm a world too soon
Driven like the rain that's falling, down again, on our souls once more
All these years I've been searching for shelter to save me from these gathering storms
The clock's still ticking, time comes crawling, the sound of my solitudes metronome
But it's always better than breaking hearts and to find out that you're the one to blame
Still we dance in the house of the dreamer fire's eating the walls away
But one glance at the world outside and I know that I would rather burn
Down goes the sand slipping through our hands, round go the hands of our speeding clock
But no time wasted when there's no time spent, no crystal ball to see where this all ends
From the wheels of tragedy we never had a chance, to tear it all down and start over again
Come closing in when you start closing down. I know you are, it's all coming round
You closed the door while I kept it open, slammed in the face like a 2-by-4
Then came questions and then no answers, if I only could I would open the door again
No words to keep our worlds together, we were always more strangers than dreamers
But don't be surprised when sometime, someday a stranger may come knocking at your door
