Hazy said he
but stepped out to the corner
as all belief
was laid to rest
gently he came
to be the strong shoulder
withdrawn, discreet
she'll end up passing him by
the tale without beginning
they stole the time that they had
preserve without forgetting
their toll will be enough for us all
Seeming all but a brother
his time had not come
She was never a mother
the one he knew he left behind
it's strange that our misgivings
keeping up at all the wrong times
Why can't we stop playing the victim
Straightening out, walking in line
And not enough can be prepaid
Surround ourselves with the broke and frayed
But if its answers that we wanted
and peace of mind is what we crave
we never would have chosen
to speak to anyone anyway
