lyrics

I bought the book when someone said
That failure to would make me seem unjust
So I took a marker and circled those
I thought of then in friendship and in lust
It seems the shelf it sits on now
Will soon collapse from the weight of piling dust
'Cause the bordered faces have been replaced
By a group of where I can't place any trust

There's a woman on my mind
Who, up until some point, I never could quite touch
And when the moment came
It seemed so delicate, should have treated it as such
And I thank all those who rescued me
From ignorance, you really came through in the clutch
But the bordered faces upon her walls
Are laughing still, it seems a bit too much

Good things come to those who wait
But when does it all become too late?
Maybe I should sell my soul
And find a home down in a hole
Or maybe I should stick to what I know

When I heard the symphony
I was quick to throw my praise into the ring
In pledging my allegiance to the orchestra
I must have upset the king
'Cause I found myself regretting taking notes
From those who offered everything
When the bordered faces had gained their place
On a narrow road with a knack for suffering

Chorus

There's a horde of different memories
That haunt my dreams on any given night
They taunt me with their tales of desperation
And their broken passion lights
But the bordered faces I confide in
Tell me still it's worth it just to fight
'Cause as they've etched into the stone
"Don't worry babe, it's going to be alright"
