Desperation Song

Carbon Leaf

Here I'm debating time, I'm waiting 
Come the wake 
Free fall the cannonball volcanic 
shatters on the lake 

You settle down, 
Where you runnin' to? 
What else can you prove? 
How many, many more until you lose? 
You thought a better plan could 
Shake this shadow land 
This frozen tundra hand

I'm turning it from shade to light 
Hold it up to candlelight, 
Roaring into firelight, 
Scorching up the charlatans 
Until it's city wide 
All the people mobilize, 
Nothing left to polarize 
And nothing left to fake  

Ring around the lake. 
Ring around the lake. 

Right on time, will you stay 
Through the pouring rain? 
Right on time, through the night, 
Your laughter is my light 
Right on time, desperation song 

Dear I have missed your sigh 
since crystal skies moved on 
Peer out through shadow's doubt 
I had no passion all along 

You settle down. where you running to? 
What else can you prove? 
Is this all a game? 
Was this all a ruse? 
I've waited by the phone. 
Cold as river stone 
Anxiety. Alone.

I'm turning it from shade to light 
Hold it up to candlelight, 
Roaring into firelight, 
Scorching up the charlatans 
Until it's city wide 
All the people mobilize, 
Nothing left to polarize 
And nothing left to fake 

Ring around the lake. 
Ring around the lake. 

Right on time, will you stay 
Through the pouring rain? 
Right on time, through the night, 
Your laughter is my light 
Right on time, desperation song 
Right on time, desperation song 

I'm turning it from shade to light 
Hold it up to candlelight, 
Roaring into firelight, 
Scorching up the charlatans 
Until it's city wide 
All the people mobilize, 
Nothing left to polarize 
And nothing left to fake 

Right on time, will you stay 
Through the pouring rain? 
Right on time, through the night, 
Your laughter is my light 
Right on time, desperation song 
Right on time, desperation song
