False Alarm

I'm trying to put this thing to bed
I drugged it in it's sleep
There isn't many memories I'm comfortable to keep
This ball keeps rolling on
It's headed for the street
I keep expecting you to send for me
The invitation never comes

Each time I turn around
There's nothing there at all
So tell me why I feel like
I'm up against the wall

But maybe it's a false alarm
And all the answers sound the same
Just colours bleeding into one
That hasn't got a name
Maybe I can see
Or maybe it's just me

Now the curtains coming up
The audience is still
I'm struggling to cater for
This space I'm meant to fill

And distance doesn't care
No distance doesn't care

Each time I turn around

Maybe it's a false alarm

I'm trying to put this thing to bed
I drugged it in it's sleep
Remember what you said
Are you comfortable to keep it?
