What good does knowing do When ghosts come prowling after you When ears are doors without a key And blind eyes think that they can see
It's like standing all alone Sitting on an empty throne An hour turns into a year And moments slip past you in fear
Empty bottles tell the tale Of demons trying to set sail And when your soul is wearing thin They'll come around and push you in
Now you've fallen on your knee Begging for Someone to see That you still have lights inside your eye And you know some things never die That some things just keep living on After all the pain is gone That Love is not the same as lust And human flesh will turn to dust And knowing will not be so rough When the ghosts have had enough And now as you let yourself go You know something they don't know: Allowing yourself to be drowned Is the only way of being found Breath is just a tiny part Of living lost inside a Heart
It's like floating on a cloud Looking back down at the crowd You know you can't help them now They never tried to learn how To open up their hearts and fly All they know is how to die
And living is a dangling noose When hope is low and faith is loose When ears are doors without a key And blind eyes think that they can see But Love is not the same as lust And human flesh will turn to dust But some things will keep living on, After all the pain is gone
