There you sat with a holy book in your hands, you shined like some distant sun.
Oh, that sweet melody was ringing, and hung heavy on my ear - drums.
Something has gone wrong, our songs have been sung, but your hearts still deaf and dumb.
And you've proved immune to this tune I've been singing; I guess my voice couldn't reach you that far.
Please come, you white haired fool, I've had enough, this is the last face you'll ever leave scarred,
And your soft, sweet voice will be lost to spiteful clocks who spin to see us rot.
Oh, do you really know your part?
You've painted your past with that little tainted heart,
But you've been pieced together in the dark
By your old man's hand's from the start,
(He just gives and he takes and he gives and )
He'll make or break all of your bold thoughts,
And bind your life to something that'll never be lost.
And damn, that thought has been eatin' at you.
Those years you thought were forgotten will be nailed to the cross.
But wait, we've never even heard your name since you came around,
You were just some creature with a strange face, and oh,
If you're worried that your looks have started changing, well I'm afraid to tell you that its so,
This curse ain't one you can escape, oh no
So this is all just a free fall
Each one of us is blinded by the weight of it all
And just some of the roads are connected
But they all lead us back to the same goddamn questions,
Well kid, you can't leave your mark here now, so why don't you go
Back to the swamps where you came from, this ain't your home, and
This warmth ain't worth all of the cold spells. Yep, 'n all along
We've known this sad fact, you're not alone.
