Hanging heads that know no truth
Tower above and beyond me
Windy passages that tell forsooth
Another game all still the same

We are caught in this
We are swept in this
We are ordered in pairs
To live within this

Tonight eyes were fluttering in a violence
I never would have thought possible
Tonight the chill of treason was upon me
There was no other place I would have rather been

To remedy this world is to ask the impossible
There are so many masks
So many small tasks
Being planned in every dark crack

How did we get to this place?
Who turned these levers to get us here?
Is there a light,
Is it near?

Action stares at me and me only
Destiny wants something now
But I know not what to give
These are just words on a page, what can they save?

Save the clouds from turning black
Save the waters from running red
Save a daughter from hiding
In some shivering shed

Salvation is simply another place
With many bodies perhaps with smiling face
There were memories of peace once before my time
There were moments of bliss within the sunshine

Another spill, another car to fill
Another bottle filled with pills
There are millions of ways to heal this pain
I'm just trying to find my own way

Search for an answer never said aloud
Love through a secret bellowed echoing proud
Tortured by man whose virtue turned to dust
So I keep my eyes for the coming dusk
