Watching You Fall

There in the dark, there's a child and she's waiting
Lost in the maze of a fait accompli
Is it a crime to be just hesitating
While we're pretending that we never see?

On a TV mounted on the wall
From this distance, I can see it all
And I've been out here watching you
Watching you fall

Is there a trick to the art of not feeling?
Safe in our world while another's child bleeds
Praying that God won't demand a redealing
Of cards we have held and pretend you don't need
Don't need

On a TV mounted on the wall
From this distance, I can see it all
And I've been out here watching you
Watching you fall

Better not think about it
Anytime we'll start to doubt it
Christ has risen, keep him hidden
God forbid, he sees

It's not that we lack the vision
Only just a quick decision
Who will blame us, rules restrain us
It's all in history

So close my eyes and pretend, I am sleeping
Avoiding the chance that you'll visit my dreams

On a TV mounted on the wall
From this distance, I can see it all
And I've been out here watching you
Watching you, watching you, watching you
Watching you fall, yeah, yeah
