Weary traveler On a forlorn road What are you searching for? Heaven ain’t happening And you’re still living in denial Futile search for meaning When nothing means nothing But still trying to make amends Trying to spin straw into Golden Fleece Living in your own gilded age Deranged youthful innocence Enamored with jealousy But it has never worked In the aftermath of longing There is nothing left to say But good morning How’s your day been Living in a glamorous Secluded glass house Made from your sullen parts Unequivocally unequivocal Just another lost soul Prospering on misery Took another deep breath out of spite Hoping to heal your glass jaw Bound to lose again and again Romantic exacerbator That did nothing but make empty promises Filling their heads with romantic plights That you had no intention of fighting for But they were pretty pictures Painted by prettier words that you heard Spoken somewhere languidly Under the midnight auburn skies

Weary traveler On a forlorn road What are you searching for? Heaven ain’t happening And you’re still living in denial Futile search for meaning When nothing means nothing But still trying to make amends Trying to spin straw into Golden Fleece Living in your own gilded age Deranged youthful innocence Enamored with jealousy But it has never worked In the aftermath of longing There is nothing left to say But good morning How’s your day been Living in a glamorous Secluded glass house Made from your sullen parts Unequivocally unequivocal Just another lost soul Prospering on misery Took another deep breath out of spite Hoping to heal your glass jaw Bound to lose again and again Romantic exacerbator That did nothing but make empty promises Filling their heads with romantic plights That you had no intention of fighting for But they were pretty pictures Painted by prettier words that you heard Spoken somewhere languidly Under the midnight auburn skies
