Distractions Lyrics - Enchant

Standing alone in a crowded room 

He hears it 

A voice so familiar, not unlike his own 

He fears it 

His name being called out from across the room 

But he can't see 

He's willingly blindfolded starting towards the voice 

But each step leads 

Into a dance with a different stranger 

His purpose he quickly forgets 

Each dance delights till the song is through 

But the silence between the songs 

Reminds him what he'd intended to do 

But the voice it knows no time, waits patiently 

Can't record a wrong, his past it can't see 

And if it takes him forever, it'll still be there 

Waiting jealously 

He moves towards the voice 

More determined now but still can't see 

The music begins and he's pulled away again by flattery 

Just as with a drug the words purposely inoculate 

All puffed up but silence 

When the music ends, quickly deflates 

Now the voice, though never changing 

Begins to sound to him like a shriek 

He covers his ears with his hands 

Now deaf and blind, he wanders aimlessly 

Submerged in the darkness 

He's forgotten what he was to be 

But the voice it knows no time, waits jealously 

Can't record a wrong, his past it can't see 

And if it takes him forever, it'll still be there 

Waiting patiently, waiting patiently 

He cannot see the floor is wet 

Nor does he hear the strangers warn 

He slips onto his back and lying paralyzed 

He feels forlorn 

The music begins and strangers whom he trusted 

Leave him there 

Helpless and immobile lying on the floor 

And no one cares 

But the voice that once was distant 

Sounds as though it's right next to his ear 

And no longer the shrieking does he hear 

The voice says, "Walk" and suddenly 

He knew he would 

It says, "Remove the blindfold", suddenly he knew 

He always could 

But the voice it knows no time, waits patiently 

Can't record a wrong, his past it can't see 

And if it takes him forever, it'll still be there 

Waiting jealously, waiting jealously 

But the voice it knows no time, waits jealously 

Can't record a wrong, his past it can't see 

And if it takes him forever, it'll still be there 

Waiting patiently
