i knew i d heard it before as i fell to the floor and lost sight of the books on the shelf there is no hard debate there s no time to wait when you have no one to blame but yourself you know it s all arranged the seasons will change cause the sun is in endless decay there s no one in control the earth will revolve a little slower with every day we re all stuck in the waltz forgive me i failed to ignore your depressions once more and i failed to ignore that you re here it s just that when we hold hands any brief romance turns a little too fast into fear and all the quiet words that we ve ever heard are the sum of the noises around written with glitter glue on a high heeled shoe is a note praying let me be found face it you re stuck in the waltz face it you re stuck in the waltz under the microscope where we all find hope you ll see nothing but your last defeat and as the silence grows only silence knows it gets greater for every beat i hear the pulse of the drum like dead bones against stone he s been caught stealing it from a friend now every single tone is a haunting moan repeating the same tune again face it you re stuck in the waltz stuck in the waltz face it you re stuck in the waltz we re all stuck
