lyrics

here’s where I strike the blow at superstition
here’s where the candle goes out
here’s where I ask you to forgive me
cause I’m turning around
I’ve waited too long
for

Rosabelle : Answer - Tell - Pray, Answer - Look - Tell - Answer, Answer - Tell Rosabelle
(Rosabelle, Rosabelle, I can’t part the veil)

I sat with the mediums and prophets
I listened for your message to come
and Arthur was a sly one with his poison and his lies
I wanted to believe but we were compromised

and you, with your mother
face down on her grave
waiting for that simple word: Forgive

those days at Coney Island
those strange backwater towns
always escaping
your chains, your past, your hell
and

Rosabelle : Answer - Tell - Pray, Answer - Look - Tell - Answer, Answer - Tell Rosabelle

but if I saw you now
what would I expect you to say?
I’m the only one haunting us now
I am holding you
I am holding you
this is holding me back

the orbs in the photos
the tables in the air
the automatic writing
and you were never there

the handcuffs stay locked
so now I am free
the final prestige
you saved it for me

‘cause ten years is long enough to wait for any man
when I go, I’ll be gone for good
I won’t try to come back.
