lyrics

Those stilted rhymes and recurrent lines
Are keeping out of site and out of mind
With melodies that lull to sleep
Our wariness towards our verities
That we’ve already lived them

And if it shows, we don’t let the curtain raise to see

The ways we hold from days of old
Reverberate as if we don’t even know
And we won’t think twice as we turn out lights
As close our eyes and kiss our love goodnight
Is everything alright?

And if it shows, we don’t let the curtain raise to see

And the longer we lapse the more that time goes by
And the less that we change the more that we won’t try
And we’ll just ease on by
But there’s no ease on by…

It’s been so long repeating songs
Retracing steps that carry us along
Do we fear we will miss them?

And if it shows, we don’t let the curtain raise to see
No, if it shows, we don't let the curtain raise to see
