Lyrics and music by Katt McConnell

lyrics

It’s a long walk down that hallway,
Even longer to find the key.
It’s a long fall into numbness—
But who knows what the end of the story may be?

I can tell from your scars your entry was painful—
A suicide, I’m guessing?
You know me—but not her?
Don’t remember what you were—
And you run from what you’re repressing.

You think I’ve an army to cover my back,
But I swear I’m completely alone.
No one’s coming for me—there is no trap,
For you see, I came to find you on my own.

(chorus)

This girl is your ticket to beauty and bliss—
Yet I see what you still deny.
You insist and pretend
She’s just a means to an end—
But why do I see guilt in your eyes?

She means nothing to you, you say now and said then,
She’s just a tool in this selfish endeavor...
You can cover your face with your hood once again—
But you can’t fight the truth forever.

(chorus)

We will meet the Assembly in their hall of shadow,
Where innocence goes to drown.
You’re damned either way—
At least’s that’s what you say—
But this isn’t how it has to go down.

Take one last look as time flows from my veins,
Tell me you don't feel something's wrong.
You thought I was here for the lioness in chains...
But I was here for you both all along.

(chorus)

This is what you will choose to be,
But there’s still time to write an alternate ending.
Look at that girl—tell me who you see—
And know there is no more time for pretending.

It’s a long walk into memory,
Made harder when shame won’t allow.
It’s a long climb up to redemption,
But you see now—yes...you...see...now...
