12 Thousand Years

12 THOUSAND YEARS
 tuesday is ripping your heart apart
 and there's not a god that can save you from the mess you're in now
 long showers and colors and dreaming and dark dark days
 turning into what became
 and here you go
 walking right into walls
 like you didn't even see them
 like it wasn't even there
 and there's nothing you can do
 no there's nothing you can do
 you drive around waiting for it to slow down
 to turn into something that one day you'll just
 get to push out of the way
 but there's nothing in the way
 you've got one thing in your heart
 but another thing is what you do with it
 come back to the window and listen
 the rooftops are calling out your name down below
 you can close your eyes and try
 but if you don't see me now
 I don't think you ever will
 and here you go floating out on some goddam window sill
 screaming
 believing
 there's something in you eyes for them to hold
 but there's nothing there to hold
 you waited 'round for some 12 fucking years
 for you father to call
 but if he's not called you yet
 you know he's never gonna call
 and there's nothing you can do
 you've got one thing in your heart
 but another thing is what you do with it
 I just saw the sky turning red
 and I thought
 you'd better forget
 'cause you know it's my turn now
 to walk right out on this
 to walk right out on this
 tuesday is ripping your heart apart
 and there's not a god that can save you from the mess you're in now
