  • To make it all worthwhile
    All your useless presentations
    Are weighing on my time
    You could beg for forgiveness
    As long as you like
    Or just wait out the evening
    And always ask me why
    Yes you'll only leave me dry
    So I'll ask you kindly to make your way

    And what was there
    The perfect glare
    We all fall through

    While you wait on the answers
    That I'll pretend to find
    Keeping up with emotions
    Still occupies our time
    You could hope for substance
    As long as you like
    Or just wait out the evening
    And always ask me why
    Yes you'll always ask me why
    I'll ask you kindly to make your way

    And what was left
    The perfect glare
    We all fall through

    And all we want

    And what was there
    And what was there
    And what wasn't there Writer/s: CHRISTOPHER BEAR, CHRISTOPHER MICHAEL TAYLOR, DANIEL ROSSEN, EDWARD DROSTE
