Watch It Simmer, Watch It Burn Lyrics - Singles - At Long Last

The bitter hand, oh so serene 

The background clock, let the soundtrack sing 

The remaining days, they ticked so slow 

Stop it, rewind, and enjoy the show 

As the hourglass dared to fall in love with the grain, you heard my heart stop beating with a final sustain 

With doors locked tight, windows secured 

The serendipity of life falls to the floor 

Take me home, to where I am free, to where I can bleed, to where I believe 

So Ive been told that is my heart is not made of gold, the silver has been sold, the bronze too bitter and cold 

To ask me why, such a simple question, but hard to comply 

So dance with me sweet, sing me to sleep 

Let all the other cares in the world drift away beneath your feet 

Lets dream of those clouds in the sky that are far away and hard to find 

Dreams worth fighting for might just come true 

Thats when I found you 

Staple me up, and stitch me with yarn 

Baby blue arms that glow with charm 

Hold my hand, Im too young to understand 

Too dumb to take offense, too broken for suspenseful walking lies 

With my head on straight now, hear me cry
