Dial Tone

Don't say a word It's time to finally leave this world The difference between close and lose Is the letter c the chance to choose And once and for all The leaves begin to burn and fall A spiral staircase And you're running down Out of this place Away from it all Away from this face You’re packed up Delicately with a sheet The doors are closed We’re following behind Closely like sheep We're all alone But all we can hear Is this steady dial tone And you can’t pick up the phone But I’ll give it all away For the missing piece And I’d scream my lungs out Just to have some peace My mind will wear thin Like a ribbon tied to your wrist I’ll bear this pain For a new plot twist
