Suddenly
When the pin drops suddenly
All the shapes and shadows flee
And the world in front of me comes tumbling down
Like a king on a matchstick throne
Who gave away everything he owned
And he's finally forced upon his ... crown
And I wander and drift and the scenery shifts
Minutes quickly turn into days
And I wish I could know how the ending will go
But it's always moving further away
Suddenly the sidewalk ends in the tangle of wilderness
And I'm not sure just which turn I took was wrong
The comfort of company, it's a ghost of a memory
And I traded it long ago, yeah, for a song
And I wander and drift and the scenery shifts
Minutes quickly turn into days
And I wish I could know how the ending will go
But it's always moving further away
And these tiny black marks
Suddenly, the stars explode and the sky's all full of hopes
I could fill 'em one by one, yeah, one by one
With a flicker from my head, ripped out of a book I read
And they tried to show me that I'm never done
And I wander and drift and the scenery shifts
Minutes quickly turn into days
And I wish I could know how the ending will go
But it's always moving further away
