Standing alone in a crowded room

He hears it

A voice so familiar, not unlike his own

He fears it

His name being called out from across the room

But he can't see

He's willingly blindfolded starting towards the voice

But each step leads

Into a dance with a different stranger

His purpose he quickly forgets

Each dance delights till the song is through

But the silence between the songs

Reminds him what he'd intended to do

But the voice it knows no time, waits patiently

Can't record a wrong, his past it can't see

And if it takes him forever, it'll still be there

Waiting jealously

He moves towards the voice

More determined now but still can't see

The music begins and he's pulled away again by flattery

Just as with a drug the words purposely inoculate

All puffed up but silence

When the music ends, quickly deflates

Now the voice, though never changing

Begins to sound to him like a shriek

He covers his ears with his hands

Now deaf and blind, he wanders aimlessly

Submerged in the darkness

He's forgotten what he was to be

But the voice it knows no time, waits jealously

Can't record a wrong, his past it can't see

And if it takes him forever, it'll still be there

Waiting patiently, waiting patiently

He cannot see the floor is wet

Nor does he hear the strangers warn

He slips onto his back and lying paralyzed

He feels forlorn

The music begins and strangers whom he trusted

Leave him there

Helpless and immobile lying on the floor

And no one cares

But the voice that once was distant

Sounds as though it's right next to his ear

And no longer the shrieking does he hear

The voice says, "Walk" and suddenly

He knew he would

It says, "Remove the blindfold", suddenly he knew

He always could

But the voice it knows no time, waits patiently

Can't record a wrong, his past it can't see

And if it takes him forever, it'll still be there

Waiting jealously, waiting jealously

But the voice it knows no time, waits jealously

Can't record a wrong, his past it can't see

And if it takes him forever, it'll still be there

Waiting patiently
