lyrics

It’s a lonesome jaded desperate hour
Your hands have picked every virgin flower
Feet have climbed every golden tower
The sky opens up spits something sour to believe in
The night throws shadows across your floor
You pray there is not anymore
But every thought you have tried to ignore
It gathers outside of your door
Raging
You wonder where it all has gone
But was ever there for very long?
You peek your head out
They are still playing the song
Live goes on
Carry on boy
All the time conceal your pain
Keep in line with the parade
But leaning on this broken cane
People cry oh what a shame
When they don’t even remember your name
Tomorrow
Hours looking in the mirror
Looking for the face that disappeared
Your hands are shaking
You are drunk on fear
You know there is no exit near
Nobody there to bend an ear
While waiting in this pool of tears
Talking of some ancient cure
But where you are you can not hear
Them bells tolling
All of this is all over you
You who are somehow bound to lose
Walking underneath pale moons
Wandering lonely through the ruin
Wondering if you will make it through
Wondering what there is to get through to
Or will it all come back on you
Again
Somehow you must be brave
That is what your father will say
Can’t remember what cards you have played
No matter everything you have saved adds up to nothing
So lonesome goes down another day
The night becomes a desperate game
It’s truly love that you crave
But love has changed its name
To this a game that you must play
And play it there is no other way
Cause your heart is sinking, sinking fast
Caught the future and the past
Not knowing which one is built to last
But everything will surely pass
And another such as you will be born again
Into a chain of nightmares
