Park - Tickling The Dragon's Tail

To Rate
That'll be quite enough and what have we learned tonight?
From your short flight has earned you a heavy heart
Here comes the hand I've been shaking
Mixed with the blood that I'm tasting
The lips they move to form the words of new truth..

Cut from the inside and folded over
You can't make your tone sound any colder
Where is the you I thought I knew?

You've been clawing at the answers far too long
Close enough to capture but your timings off
We've been gathering the questions you got wrong
How's it feel to need only to find out everything's lost?

There goes the feeling of safety
I can't feel a thing when you hit me
The dust it blooms to rise and form a new bruise

Cut from the inside and folded over
You can't make your tone sound any colder
Here is the truth I always knew

You've been clawing at the answers far too long
Close enough to capture but your timings off
We've been gathering the questions you got wrong
How's it feel to need only to find out everything's lost
(I am sorry that it came to this
I wish things could have turned out differently
I understand the loss. How does that feel?
To know that you are part of something that will change the way humans live?
Every minstrel has a song to sing and you just sung your last
Goodbye, Jacob)

You look like someone died a bit inside
Here's my vote of confidence:
Think of happier times

If there's a way out of this place
Someone tell me
Someone lead me away from here

There is a way out of this place
But I can't help you
So you might as well stay..
