Hindsight

Watching them all go by

Just like cattle

Led by the yellow light

You saw it's final resting-place

A hundred years from now

It still had not decayed

You really thought you had something

And now that you know better

It's too late to regret her

Here you stand, now, holding on to nothing

And you tighten your grip

As it is all you've got left of your lie

Your lie

You threw all the false ones out

For there were no room

For graven images no more

And as you let her in

You catch a glimpse of

A peace that won't ever come

You really thought you had something

And now that you know better

It's too late to regret her

Here you stand, now, holding on to nothing

And you tighten your grip

As it is all you've got left of your lie

You never took the time

To stop and think about

What you did to drive her away

Without that insight

You're stuck in your line

Walking around that circle again

Singing that

You really thought you had something

And now that you know better

It's too late to regret her

Here you stand, now, holding on to nothing

And you tighten your grip

As it is all you've got left of your lie
