Sands through my fingers, tears caught in my hands
Time erases every victory, magnifies every defeat
Hateful attacks from strangers, each make demands
What is there to do, when the failure is complete
A perfect end found, with the place and time chosen
I have nothing, and truly, I have no want for more
If I had wanted to end this, I'd use the proper door
I wanted it finished, to hear the last words spoken
I want to hear the crowd scream encore, encore
