Conjured up
And commands coming down
Unfit to lead
And calling for the crown
In constant need
Too often called upon
Ever unaware
The time has come and gone

I was told you would remain among
The silhouettes and setting suns
Where everybody goes by different names

I was told you would remain among
The silhouettes and setting suns
Just looking out for someone else to blame

Hiding out
Just under paper thin
Never takes too much
To break the skin I'm in
I've heard it said
But it's all news to me
I looked away too long ago
To oversee

Who is it going to be?
Why are you asking me?
I'll wind up where I'm bound
And I'd like to take some time
But I couldn't slow it
Couldn't turn it around
