Nineteen To Ten

No telephone is ringing here, reservation draws the line

Read the fine print when it is screamed out

Education isn't what it used to be

You'll find it in a well worn fold out

You once reserved for friends and family

This all you took from me

So let's see

More excuses lead to outbursts

Throwing phrases in the air to see what sticks

Betrayal with a smile

Welcome to another painful time of year

Another lie that they don't hear

Here's hoping you counted back nineteen to ten

You try to hide behind a mask that's justified

Morally it's all too vague

To try to go through it again

The pressure builds, it goes on and on

So you break, you break

You're written off today

Try and force monotony

You cut yourself wide open from counting back nineteen to ten

You counted back nineteen to ten

Your solace always hides behind the bedroom door

You want it to stay

Forever and ever, you want it all

Forever and ever, you lost it all

Your solace always hides behind the bedroom door

Counting back nineteen to ten

Nineteen to ten
