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 to try
This is hesitation and I know it will never satisfy
