Enchant - Distractions lyrics

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 jealouly Can't record a wrong,his past it can't see And if it takes him forever,it'll still be there,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 immoblile lying on the floor----and no one cares But the voice that once was distant sounds as thought 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 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 [Music: D.Ott,P.Craddick] [Lyrics: T.Leonard]
