a notion cold as the night air. starts within in my head. spreads like ink right through my veins. all of our kings are dead. i am not a scholar and i don't believe in fate.
We paint our faces keep the truth deep under cover. We gather round the fire and tell lies to each other. So desperate to feel like we're not getting older now.
Like a marionette hanging from its strings. You live you love you dance but it's not real. So take a bow. Emaciated little thing. Cos you finally have the audience you need.
In my heart I feel a change. What once was now looks so strange. You're out at sea and I'm ashore. These wounds don't seem to wait. If you're a fist I'm a window pane.
I am a wavering candle light. I remain but I'm ever slight. Through all my years. I sit, in my room in the fading light. Righting back all my wrongs tonight.
I was born, I have lived, I will surely die. Facing defeat I'm still holding my head up high. Been deceived into thinking that it's alright. I just needed a reason to reach for the light.
Standing on the edge, watching traffic pass. And these rivers of broken glass. Everybody wants to believe there's something more to this. Yet to hear the word of a higher power.
Yeah I need meaning. As much as I need air to fill these old lungs of mine. I didn't notice but I've been holding my breath as long as I've been alive.
All we are is leaves in the wind. And all of our moments pass us by before they begin. . And I know I can't deny. The burning in your eyes. I need a little more now.
Gravity won't let me go. Gravity won't let me go. . I'm in such awe. Yet such dismay. The finite becomes infinite. Through hues of blue and grey. The darkness overwhelms my eyes at first.
I was born, I have lived, I will surely die. Facing defeat I'm still holding my head up high. Been deceived into thinking that it's alright. I just needed a reason to reach for the light.
I slip away. Like a thief I'm on the run. 'Cause I cracked the safe. Sold the priceless parts for fun. I'll save. Smoke and mirrors babe. For the ones they work on.
I had a conversation with a dying man. He said "Son, make sure you live while you still can". Said I can lie to the rules of war and I can swim the seas.
I was told when I was young,. That I could one day hold the world right as it spun,. But now it seems as though. I've made a mess of everything I've ever done.
The shadows grow long. I know. You mourn the loss of light and head below. Close your eyes. Cross your heart. And hope. I know that you don't see it. But all we need is daylight.
Got my head out of the window. I can taste the summer air. Hangs heavy with the promise of nights beyond compare. We start, we stop, we break and then we mend.
I've been colourblind. Trapped in black and white. Built these walls so high. Kept myself inside. 'Aint there more than this?. Ignorance is bliss. I'm going out of my mind.
Down under the night sky. I lay and wait. Praying to whoever. Will listen to me. I founded my own cross. Been clutched by its weight. There's no darker message.
I used to hear the melody. The voice only I know. The rhythm and the rain. Beating down my window. . It's clear to me that I can see. Through each and every pain.
