Close your eyes.. Never mind.. You can try and try,. But some days have no songs. And the easy things go wrong,. As you push your life along.. Hold on..
Boredom. Hangin' by myself, in a bleak motel. Overnight in a small town. . Boredom. My mind's countin' time, trucks go rollin' by. Past the pumps and highway sign.
Well I've heard about the quarrels, and how it always ends. And how a couple loses edge and never make amends. And how they weave a false cocoon and how the web extends.
Bald Headed Lena. Has anybody seen her. Cute as she can be. She's got a cue ball head. . That's hard as lead. But she's all right with me. Bald Headed Lena.
Looking down at the ground. To hide the sorrow drawn on my face.. Speaking words from your dreams. To disguise the lies painted in your mind.. . 'Cause I'm your pain.
A glimpse of light breaks through. The ruins of our lives. My dusty eyelid rise to let hope. Blind my sight. . Between the closing walls. A breeze revives my mind.
Too much, too long. Fighting to heal the wounds. You made walking away. . Sinking deeper. Trying to deal with the hurt. Haunting in my dreams. . Too many times I've walked in the shadows on a Saturday night.
I lost track of good sense 'cause I never. Learned when to stop. . And somewhere along the way I dragged you. Into this mess. . I chose to fight but I lost.
I've been running to let go. I've been running away from home. My knees no longer hold. But I can't stop. . It's still too easy to run. . Time and Time again you fade away.
I see a thousand corridors. And I've walked through them all. Nowhere an open door. . I'm imprisoned by my love. Who is chained by the fears. Affection turned into tears.
Forget all your worries. The bleeding and suffering. Let your mind rest and live a little more. . Forget all your worries. Those wounds and the stumbling.
Again I close my eyes. Cause it's hard to see that I'm. Losing my prime. My actions feed your lies. And the truth begins to fade. Become so vague. . Lift me up.
I am desperately seeking. More ways to believe in. The sensation of a second chance. I was so unaware of all. And I surely wasn't ready. When you dropped the bomb.
Does it even matter what I've said. Too much in the past to forget. Does it even matter what I feel. (pause). Does it even matter what I've done. Pushed you out of the harms way.
Reflection unharmed. Cold stares of the strangers. Are like a mirror into my life. Frozen and undermined. No longer can I. Remember the last time. I was afraid for something.
I had my chance. You gave it away. I didn't say enough. I did too much. And every time I look back in time I find myself questioning why. . I'm deep in despair.
Oh how the mighty fall. Turn the stone to find another world. . All the roads we've roamed with pride. Decay under our steps of fright. . Fall, oh how the mighty fall.
Once again. they tell me that I'm. insensible. It must be true,. It's always the same accusation. . You don't feel well. and you seek. a reason,. I guess it's me,.
What you don't know is how it turns. Everything to anything. Your failure to your sin. What you hope is that you will learn. From the scars on your skin.
I'm up against the best. 'Cause whenever she is near. I'm my own worst enemy. . Forbidden and so dangerous. But in spite of all we've been through I can't flee.
