Back And Forth Lyrics

Back And Forth lyrics

Late at night all alone in the bathroom

You’re freaking out cause you just can't control everything

That happens around you

Set in stone with no proof of validity

Your so-called faith keeps you terrified in anything

That threatens your standing



The eyes of the world

The eyes of the church

The eyes of your peers

The wagging of tongues

Whispering shame

Upon eager ears



Have all the plans that you laid out so carefully

Fallen short of your neo-Victorian fantasy

You cling to so desperately

So look at all your hard work is coming to

Despite your effort you still can't buy security

So what is your money worth?

And maybe it's right

And I should feel pain

For bending the rules

But I’m not the one

Who's trying to choose between fools



Back and forth the orchestra plays

But neither side is tuned to the other

Back and forth the orchestra plays

But neither side is tuned . . .



Pull the shutters and tighten the blindfold

Turn away anyone who doesn't fit the mold

The story goes untold

Despite the righteous beliefs that you profess

You still can't cover the stain that marks your Sunday dress

No need to confess



Back and forth the orchestra plays

But neither side is tuned to the other . . .

(Late at night all alone in the bathroom

You’re freaking out cause you just can't control everything)

Neither side is tuned
