[Intro]

You know you'd say, "Just one minute more!" If I gave one

Then what would time turn me into inside of your dreams?

A lying fool?

A peasant or a king?

A show of strength

Your show of strength


[Verse 1]

You know you'd say, "Just one minute more!" If I gave one

Then what would time turn me into inside of your dreams?

A lying fool?

A peasant or a king?


[Chorus]

A show of strength

No one to thank

Your show of strength

Your page is blank


[Verse 2]

You'd know a way you could soak me through, too heavy to leave

But now you'll sleep thinking of all your brightest things

A dire fool, a resting eye, a scene

These dire fools, these resting eyes, a scene


[Chorus]

A show of strength

No one to thank

Your show of strength

Your page is blank


[Bridge]

What was l back then?

Your faded face?

Your welcomed ache?

Look at me that way again

Stay awhile until we wake


[Outro]

It's strange to think that at some point

Your brain might interpret me as just some

Beach ball bouncing down a sun heated asphalt driveway

Or maybe a villain who's on his next conquest into the

Dimmed-black outer reaches of your mind's kingdom

To explore and steal secrets and regrets

But I have to ignore anecdotes like that

Or they might just squeeze my ribs into a

Blackhole formed from the gravity on my chest

And implode in on the very purpose of this exercise

In independence and subjectivity
