I hid the weapon wisely 'cause I had all the fun. I made you wander blindly to find the starting gun. Speed blurs. The lines are drawn. You throw down your arms and let me go on. You cut the rope - the curtain that ends the show. I won't let you go. Oh, look at her - my mother - she smiles politely and all of my friends...they come and they clap my back. But my doubt destroys me nightly and all of the lessons - they stack and they stack and I know all of this is real but my words fail - like my knees - to kneel so scream at me - forever - a chorus of I-told-you-so's. I won't let you go. Baby girl, get over here and kiss me. For the last time, it's not the last time.

Home 03:24
...and a home is a heart that beats within your heart. But it breaks your ambition when you contemplate the rhythm. It can lull you to sleep in soft, winter sheets, safely set aside until morning comes...but it could never come. Oh, it's so easy, but you make it so hard. Give up, now. ...and a home is a heart that beats within your heart. But it breaks your ambition when you contemplate the rhythm. It can lull. It can break you down. You must set aside your fear so you can disappear. Then, you are home. (Sorry if I seem confused. I'll make it if you slip the noose. I'll never, ever turn this thing around. I wait too long to let things go. I waited so long to let this go.)
