. a moment of awkward silence .

In a moment of reflection
It seems as clear as day
And all those hours of contemplation
Were just hours wasted away
So I muster up the courage and strength
To lay bare my heart
But in a moment of awkward silence
I watched it all fall apart

Now the gear grinds and the screws turn
Another trip spinning 'round the sun
And it's a heartless sun
How the truth burns
How simple plans can simply come undone
So take a step, dear
And take another
Sometimes we waltz
But mostly we just crawl
And in a moment of awkward silence
We will watch those ivory towers fall
