Like a book, it's closing time
The pages have run dry
Chapter's done, story's over
It's time to say goodbye
Put it back on the shelf
Dedicate it to yourself
I am displaced
Gotta hold on tight, gotta hold on tight
I need the space
Like the water needs the tide
The silence has buried me
I've brought myself to bed
Nights roll on, days go by
There's still screamin' in my head
Years tacked on yourself
Dust settles on your shelf
I am displaced
Gotta hold on tight, gotta hold on tight
I need the space
Like the water needs the tide
Lay me down to rest
Ends will change, ends will fade
Lay me down to rest
Kept the words to my chest
I stare at all the books I have
And all the ends I've seen
I close my eyes to go to sleep
For tomorrow's words I'll meet
