our hero exits stage left... lyrics

so i've been up this holiday week and the late nights are finally catching up with me so catch some sleep or just pretend that the last 2 years have not happened they push and pull htey tug away "you've all been pawns in my chess game" and it servew you right for your self-service; the end? checkmate again so tonight i'll wait, i hope you get here soon and you'll wave goodbye. i didn't have a clue conjure up a phantom. invent a war. this machine has done this all before old dog. same trick. newmeans; ithink....i'm getting really fucking scared and it helps me just to know you care so tonight i'll wait. i hope you get here soon and you'll wave goodbye. i didn't have a clue and i've missed yet another chance at kind words and laughs (i'll hold your hand. but don't hold so tight. you weigh me down) i'm stuck in no man's land. is this the end? (don't run so fast. where are you?) the city's burning. they'll burn another down and as we're getting older, this life is getting so much colder it's what we think. so what do we do? thought and action. thought and action so tonight i'll wait i hope you get here soon (i'll hold your hand. but don't hold so tight. you wiegh me down) and you'll wave goodbye. i didn't have a clue (don't run so fast. where are you? i'll be right here) and i've missed yet another chance. at kind words and laughs (i'll hold your hand. but don't hold so tight. you weigh me down) i'm stuck in no man's land. is this the end?(don't run so fast. where are you?)
