I take out the watch you gave me christmas day
The battery died and it's been stuck at half past eight
I see you there reflected in the glass
You think it's like me, worthless and free, you think it's like me

It's getting dark in here
And i'm the one you fear
It's getting dark in here
And i'm the one you want to disappear

I spot you at night alone there in your chair
From the hallway i watch you casting vacant stares
It's a picture for me of how all good things must pass
I'm gripped by desire, i put out the fire, i'm burning alive

Even the unbelievers will be saved
Even a legion of demons can find grace
Just when the world is turning in its grave
We will save face! we will save face! we will save face!
