Know Good Things

You didn't turn around
When I called out your name
Did you not hear
Or do you still lay a curse upon me?
You didn't turn around
You just looked out the window
I could believe it's malice
But I won't believe it's apathy

You didn't answer
When I stretched out to reach
Are you hiding
Or have you built a wall that can't be scaled?
You didn't answer
You just sat with your resolve
I'd like to know for once
Why your soul is veiled

All good things end in a mausoleum
If you don't stop to look
You won't even see them

All good things end up in a tomb
So hold them while you can
Time will consume

You'll not turn to me
But I'll still call your name
You can block me all you like
But I'll go right on speaking
You'll not turn to me
But you will have to hear
It could be fatigue
From all that pain you're seeking

You'll not answer me
But I'll still try to reach
You can raise your barricades
But I'll go right on seeing
You'll not answer me
But I'll still come to know
That in the end
It's not my fault you're still fleeing

All good things end in a mausoleum
If you don't stop to look
You won't even see them

All good things end up in a tomb
So hold them while you can
Time will consume

All things end in a mausoleum
If you don't seek your pleasures
You won't ever see them

All things end up in a tomb
Don't waste life on reprisals
Time will consume
