The attic is still full Of all of the same things That lay here when I was Wide-eyed for playthings The basement is chock-full Of all of the memories Handed to lovers With great expectations Don't leave me behind Don't leave me alone For I just may recall What brought me here The palace of wisdom Has never reached my mind The chance of a lifetime Has beaten me blindside With high expectations And hiughty irreverence The words I have spoken Turn into nonsense You said it was a lonely night You took the lead and made the mark You tore the pages from the scene That taught me to control the sadness
