Blank face in the windowpane
Made clear in seconds of light
Disappears and returns again
Counting hours, searching the night

...
Might be waiting for someone
...
Might be there for us to see

Might be in need of talking
Might be staring directly at me
...

Inside plays a lullaby
Slurred voice over children cries
On the inside
...

Haunting loneliness in the eye
Skin covering secret scars
His hand is waving a goodbye
There's no response or action returned
There is deep prejudice in me
Outshines all reasons inside
Given dreams all ridden with pain
And projected unto the last

    Prolly one of their best, excellent use of jazz 5/4 time mirroring Dave Brubeck's Take Five, with great licks and some nice Wes Montgomery harmonics, blended with Akerfeldt's typical bittersweet lyrics. A real talent, not the best voice, but very easy to listen to.
