[Verse 1] Here you sit, (all calm and placid) Just like then; (still, I sense the damage) Fingers trace, (the artful patterns of a silent violence) (These and other careful coverings) Now to soothe me, (this time, won't you, please?) Show your hands. [Chorus] Pull the curtains back. This still house air is poisonous. Let the real light rush in. Who cares what truth it carries? I'm your witness. I'm your witness. [Verse 2] Sleeves pulled down, (a gentle fabric over fragile paper) Nice, warm wool there to cover your pain. Now to soothe me, (show me that it's over now) Don't turn away, (this time, won't you, please?) Show your hands. [Chorus 2] Pull the curtains back. This still house air is poisonous. Let the real light rush in. Who cares what truth it sees tonight? Pull these heavy curtains back To find my breath And then wait and wait and wait. Just let me in and start again. [Outro] Here you sit, Just like then. Don't turn away, 'way, 'way, 'way 'Way, 'way, 'way, 'way (Take me past the surface).
