One Look Across

You wasted a long way to find what’s left of you

For one look across that’s just a point of view

You’ve been up ahead, on your knees, on the floor again

Don’t make up a lie you cannot disguise

You're free to miss the damage done

In present perfect, the bleeding seldom fades

So will you let the vision become

Pale understanding and winding bitter days?

The treadmill of hope rewinds itself intoned

You fell for the oldest hoax since time was known

You made it on time for the moment to draw the line

Don’t start up a war to settle the score

You wasted a long way from where you come

The treadmill of hope rewinds itself intoned
