Wide wide awake
There's no time for sleeping
Daggers and dead words are ready and creeping inside
There's not a peep across the whole nation
But I await my assassination
You know
When she goes
When she goes
When she goes
I'm locked in and tied
And there's nowhere to hide
When she goes
When she goes
There's no answer
Just silence
Then calls from the hall
Did my eyes close at all
When she goes
We can speculate, hate and say we're both lying
It would appear there's been deep harm in trying
A new thing
And new things
And there's two sides to grief
And two sides to reason
Talk or don't talk and you're heading for treason
Your exiled
Now don't go away
When she goes
When she goes
I'm locked in and tied
And there's nowhere to hide
When she goes
When she goes
There's no answer
Just silence
Then calls from the hall
Did my eyes close at all
When she goes
It appears there's a tiny line we can reach
Where we're not locked up and it's safe for free speech but there's no way to know
If your bloods high or low
Put your love in a bag and hold on
When she goes
When she goes
I'm locked in and tied
And there's nowhere to hide
When she goes
When she goes
There's no answer
Just silence
Then calls from the hall
Did my eyes close at all
When she goes
