I have a place to stop, stop, stop
I have the time to rest, rest, rest
I have a breath to sigh, sigh, sigh
I have a smile to try, try, try
Can it all please last?
Just for a while?
Hey! Comes the day's plea
Hmm...comes denial
Wringing me, wavering
Left hanging and hazed
My self, she is taken
My hopes become phased
Come here! Come here!
Come be! Come be!
Come on! Come on!
Let's see! Let's see!
Show! Show!
Tell! Tell!
Say! Say!
Compel! Oh well!
I need a place to stop, stop, stop
I need the time to rest, rest, rest
I need a breath to sigh, sigh, sigh
I need a tear to cry, cry, cry
Can it all go away?
Just for awhile?
Whoosh! Comes the day's life
Bang! Comes the pile
Turning me, tossing
Left dizzy and dazed
My thoughts become grayer
My hopes become crazed
Come little! Come little!
Come lot! Come lot!
Come more! Come more!
Don't stop! Don't stop!
Hurry! Hurry!
Fast! Fast!
Go! Go!
Crash! Crash!
I dream of a place to stop, stop, stop
I dream of the time to rest, rest, rest
I dream of a breath to sigh, sigh, sigh
I dream of that wish to try, try, try
Can I go away?
Just for awhile?
Shh...Comes the day's weep
Silence becomes my style
Possesing me, pushing
Abolished, Abrade
No light, not a flicker
Just a hell that is praised
Hold me! Help me!
Someone, out there
Find me, Find me
Do they care? Could they care?
Quieter, Quiet
Stopping, Stopped
Hiding, Hidden
Now forgot, forgot
