Back and Forth Songtext
von Craig's Brother

Late at night all alone in the bathroom
You′re freaking out 'cause you just can′t
Control everything that happens around you
Set in stone with no proof of validity
Your so-called faith leaves you terrified
Of anything that threatens your standing
The eyes of the world, the eyes of the church, the eyes of your fears
The wagging of tongues, whispering shame upon eager ears

Have all the plans that you laid out so carefully
Fallen short of your neo-Victorian
Fantasy you cling to so desperately?
So look at all that your hard work is coming to
Despite the efforts you still can't buy
Sincerity, so what is your money worth?


And maybe it's right that I should feel pain for bending the rules
But I′m not the one who′s trying to choose between fools
Back and forth the orchestra plays
But neither side is tuned to the other
Back and forth the orchestra plays
But neither side is tuned, neither side is tuned

Pull the shutters and tighten the blindfold
Turn away anyone that doesn't fit the mold
The story goes untold
For all the righteous beliefs that you profess
Still can′t cover the stain that marks your Sunday dress
No need to confess, none

Back and forth the orchestra plays
But neither side is tuned to the other
Back and forth the orchestra plays
But neither side is tuned to the other
Back and forth the orchestra plays


(Late at night all alone in the bathroom)
Back and forth it plays
(Freaking out 'cause you just can′t
Control everything that happens around you)
Back and forth the orchestra plays
(Late at night all alone in the bathroom)
Back and forth it plays
(Freaking out 'cause you just can′t
Control everything that happens around you)

Back and forth the orchestra plays
But neither side is tuned, neither side is tuned
