Pattern doesn't match
Pictures fall from their base
Pulling out of the race

Put up the red flag
Matters close at hand
Cross over the land


You get so diffused
You wanna kiss the ground

Leave no sound
Take it up next year
Chalk it up to remember

Wasted lonely fever

The way we've tried

Left a slide into harm's way
Enough concern to ride it out
It's no surprise that it's a long slow fade


Let it rest on past ages and signs
Pull the stops out

Let it unwind
It's reaching
And finding nothing

Weighted down one dale below the hill

Minefield's the word from the start

Watching out for the worst
Never clear 'til it hurts
Call it off make amends

This life burns down
From both ends


The way we've tried
Left a slide into harm's way
Enough concern to ride it out

It's no surprise that it's a long slow fade

Let it rest on past ages and signs

Pull the stops out
Let it unwind
It's reaching

And finding nothing
Weighted down one dale below the hill


Enough concern to ride it out
It's no surprise that it's a long slow fade
