For the inexplicable sorrows of our time
There comes great edges of love, bells ringing in chime
For the untraceable steps the stairs of life begot
There comes a million faults and the promises we forgot
I am tired now, love—I am tired of all the lifting
past the ivies of doubt, it's you I ended up keeping
I've been alone for too long, no waking from sleeping
I've been wanting to know my fate—for that I'm dying
All the meaningless lines and troubles suffice
Pain comes for us now that blood is sacrificed
There has been a great divide and in comes us
I don't tell you a lot of things, love—it's what it was

Faded blue jeans, cigarettes smoking by the bay
Waves roaring, clashing hunger burning in the quay
Count the number of times you missed me while away
Save me now, love, I have been going astray
How far have we gone for us to slowly look back
At the memories kept and the perfection we lacked
All the while, I tell you how nice it was to love
It's heaven, it's bliss—it's a taste of paradise, enough
And through the night of heaven and ecstasy required
We burn into embers and ashes—in joy inspired
So far down the road of our endless youth comes heart
I don't recall a lot of things, love—where did we start?

For the unspeakable throes life was thrown our path
What have we to hold—what could make us last?
There the sad times surface, brush the horizon of old
There the heat snuffs out and comes creeping in the cold
I dug trenches and you threw your bombs, fired the gun
We started a war until we didn't know what we began
I've been writing eulogies for too long—I know not of joy
I've been screaming to be loved so I became a toy
The forced rhymes and the dying last words of ours
Traffic blurs our memories as time passes by with scars
It's been quite the trip of our lives—there's nothing to hold
So I don't expect a lot of things from you, love; that's bold

Shaded circles and curtains drawn but not withheld
Fishing lies in a sea of truth—gone but not expelled
Say your prayers to a heaven void of ears
Hope for the best, for dissolution of pain and tears
Where have we found ourselves after all these years?
Are we fighting the same battles, judging the same fears?
The journey needs growth—something we weren't born to do
So I chip away my blinds and try to emerge anew
And when you pull me down with you, I had to go
Away from your love, away from all the sorrow
To go where, I guess I'll find out tomorrow
I won't say a lot of things, love, just to see your shadow

Shaded circles and curtains drawn but not withheldFishing lies in a sea of truth—gone but not expelledSay your prayers to a heaven void of earsHope for the best, for dissolution of pain and tearsWhere have we found ourselves after all these years?...
