This track is best heard through head phones.
V 1: Time lapse photograph. From your birth to your heart attack.
Small child. Big eye smile. Trusting. Loving. Twenty years have passed.
Chorus: There's a crack inside his head he's sitting closer to the edge than he really ought to sit. Everybody stands around no one even makes one sound, it's every man alone tonight.
V 2: Another broken home. A lover for beauty alone. Ten years have passed
Chorus: Now the wheels are coming off. Poor and broken mind is lost, off the edge and on the rocks. This stuff happens every day, but for grace we go that way, but for grace we never change.
