In The Lurch

by Omar Rodriguez-Lopez

I got a message from the outside
Passing for a lifeline, wheeling and dealing
To let the prayer for the sparest change
Never be heard, never be heard

And now we're stuck inside a cave-in
Buried under hatchets but what is forgiven
To let the prayer for the sparest change
Never be heard, never be heard

[Chorus]
I need some kind of evidence
Wanna look in the eye
I can't help when I'm crying out
When you leave me hanging in the lurch
I need some kind of evidence
Wanna look in the eye
I can't help when I'm crying out
When you leave me hanging in the lurch

I know the distance that we offer
Will only ever cost us an arm and a leg
But if we cut them off now
They will never grow back, never grow back

So if we go and take our last breath
Racing through this labyrinth and refuge is willing
I hope you hear me loud and clear
'Cause I've never been heard, never been heard

[Chorus]
I need some kind of evidence
Wanna look in the eye
I can't help when I'm crying out
When you leave me hanging in the lurch
I need some kind of evidence
Wanna look in the eye
I can't help when I'm crying out
When you leave me hanging in the lurch

If you're a fatalist by admission
And you're tangled in the web of denial
Then there is only one way that you're gonna get out
That's if you go to the source of the fire

'Cause it's a long way down
When you're waiting for the dust to clear
Long way down
When you're waiting for the dust to clear

'Cause it's a long way down
When you're waiting for the dust to clear
Long way down
When you're waiting for the dust to clear

[Chorus]
I need some kind of evidence
Wanna look in the eye
I can't help when I'm crying out
When you leave me hanging in the lurch
I need some kind of evidence
Wanna look in the eye
I can't help when I'm crying out
When you leave me hanging in the lurch

When you leave me hanging in the lurch
When you leave me hanging in the
