I picked up the phone, you were both on the line   Your words to each other froze me in time   A lifetime between us just burnt on the wires   Dissolved in a dial tone, consumed in your fires   Your footsteps beside me, the phone in my hand   I can't move   I can't stand      Our faces in pieces, facades on the floor   The pretense between us for a moment destroyed   I don't want to go on with these words in my heart   But the ghost of your anger will tear us apart   How my little world just went up in smoke   I'm too young   I'm too old      One day soon I'll know   One day soon I'll just let it go      I run from the bedroom with legs paralyzed   I carve out my future part prophet, part blind   It's nobody's business, no one is to blame   We'll meet in the distance, new numbers new names   I've lifted the veil, I've walked through the fire   I'll move on   I'll go higher
