This house will be your prison until the morning light Comes to free with feeling of uncertainty We may never know what we might have been But at least you saved yourself from the anxiety You've memorized your lines so well, Well I guess I've learned to play my part with a certain subtle ease Concentrate on television, sleeping pills, or lying still But I have to know the cause if I'm to cure the disease Recess; reach the edge of consummation Without warning turn and walk away Recess, past the point of consolation With a warning turn and walk away. Turn and walk away. But I have to know the cause if I'm to cure the disease Have to know the cause, have to know the cause. Recess; reach the edge of consummation Without warning turn and walk away Recess, past the point of consolation With a warning turn and walk away. Learn and walk away. This is resignation; I resign myself not even try This is hesitation and I know it will never satisfy.
