So I sat and I waited, patiently for the years to pass   with the violence of each day, of each coming day      When they thought I was running away,   I was merely gathering speed   I was merely gathering speed my friend      I did my best to avoid you   I made all efforts not to see hear   my silence says too much   has shades of absence and the wrecks of your touch      Has your breath stopped lately?   do you not see it clear?   the life you knew laughs from the window   oh Idiot smile where have you gone to?   trust not the devil when your hands are clear      I'll tell the truth for once, this time;   My lies have aged to perfection      Oh my euphoria has its nerve in you   Oh my euphoria has its nerve in you      Has your breath stopped lately?   do you not see it clear?   the life you knew laughs from the window   oh Idiot smile where have you gone to?   trust not the devil when your hands are clear      Oh my euphoria has its nerve in you   Oh my euphoria has its nerve in you
