I take out the watch you gave me christmas day The battery died and it's been stuck at half past eight I see you there reflected in the glass You think it's like me, worthless and free, you think it's like me It's getting dark in here And i'm the one you fear It's getting dark in here And i'm the one you want to disappear I spot you at night alone there in your chair From the hallway i watch you casting vacant stares It's a picture for me of how all good things must pass I'm gripped by desire, i put out the fire, i'm burning alive Even the unbelievers will be saved Even a legion of demons can find grace Just when the world is turning in its grave We will save face! we will save face! we will save face!
