A Minute's Peace

I need a little help here, I got no slack

I left no crumbs to lead me back

I did a bad thing, embraced the pain

A misstep that I can’t explain

I was asking for a minute’s peace

So I could catch my breath

I opened my eyes to find you’d kindly left

One minute later I was bored to death

Ain’t got much to say

Driving you away

Silently so

Facing south now, where our shadows meet

And no one thought to save my seat

Why’d you have to dig it up? It makes no sense

The wreckage of a first offense

I said I loved you in a crowded room

They all agreed that it was far too soon

Damned roses in their retched bloom

Ain’t got much to say

Driving you away

Silently so

You say you need to think about the time you felt connected

Happiness was not just in your mind but where you left it

I’m sure I was there

I swear I was there

Need a little help here

It turned up tails

A vanity that never fails

I was asking for a minute’s peace just to get some rest

You took it to heart, you turned and then you left

And one minute later I was bored to death

Ain’t got much to say

Driving you away

Silently so
