Harold Arlen Follow

Taken by hesitation.
Cut all ties,
And make a move toward self-destruction.

Ever so elegant,
In an adorable fashion.
Listen to this beat.
I call for all pulmonary actions to flee.
But I guess I know too much,
But that's not close to enough.

I've lost my taste
For all things lovely.
(For all things lovely.)
Quiet consumed by imagination.
This became a reputation.
What we hold is what we are.
How did I let it get this far?
(Get this far.)

This became completely apparent.
I can't obtain what's beautiful in my eyes.
A dose of pain,
This piece of embarrassment.
Listen close,
'Cause here in,
Lies the hidden message.

I've lost my taste...
(I've lost my taste.)
For all things lovely.
(For all things lovely.)
Quiet consumed by imagination.
This became a reputation.
What we hold...
(What we hold.)
Is what we are.
How did I let it get this far?
How could we let it go?

You were always my favorite liar.
It's not something to be admired.
Is this exactly what you desire?
I'll just take notes,
And throw at all the things that don't apply.

The line where the rules were set.
We just cut communication,
Left nothing but the echo.

All along,
You just sat back and watched your words decay.
Does this mean anything after the cave-in?
I doubt you even regret the simple words said.

Tears caught,
And bridges mended.
I thought this meant something.

The silence becomes louder.
It's beginning to drown you out.
I'll sing it slowly.
I won't repeat myself.
You are the killer,
And it's all in the design.

Taken by hesitation.
Cut all ties,
