The Last Goodnight-Pictures of You


This is the clock upon the wall
This is the story of us all
This is the first sound of a newborn child,
Before he starts to crawl
This is the war that's never won
This is a soldier and his gun
This is the mother waiting by the phone,
Praying for her son


Pictures of you, pictures of me
Hung upon your wall for the world to see

Pictures of you, pictures of me

Remind us all of what we used to be


There is a drug that cures it all
Blocked by the governmental wall
We are the scientists inside the lab,
Just waiting for the call
This earthquake weather has got me shaking inside
I'm high up and dry


Confess to me, every secret moment
Every stolen promise you believed

Confess to me, all that lies between us

All that lies between you and me


We are the boxers in the ring
We are the bells that never sing

There is a title we can't win no matter

How hard we might swing



-Jess
