the rooms a sty
important things you cant find
a simple guy
evaluate your hindsight
but theres no time
imagine blades it aint right
give up the fight
incorporate your stage fright
now look again
there stands an old friend
you recognize
that face behind those darkened eyes
those hollow cheeks
eaten up like flies on rotten meat
but theres no time
you wave your hand and walk right by
october sky
shes lookin great you cant hide
a little sly
the garden gates open wide
confess confide
graduate leave behind
a little pride
orchestrate your own demise
now look again
there stands an old friend
you recognize
some sadness in her eyes
but you dont speak
just pretend you didnt see
cuz theres no time
you take her hand and walk on by
