lyrics

Gone today, the painted idle dreams that make you suffer
Crawl away, the perfect night and day that was your lover
And start anew the search for a partner true.

Washed away, the things you love they last but for a day
The sea sways, the trouble and the chaos always have their ways
And so you bleed these songs like a Nazarene on the cross.

'Til you don't want to live a life that feels like always dying,
These blackest thoughts the cost of always trying
For a life that cannot be sold.

Here her say she wants you but she cannot come to love you
A child at play, your heart's a toy she fondles 'til she's through
And now you know the weight of a man whose heart is true.

'Til you don't want to live a life that feels like always dying,
These blackest thoughts the cost of always trying
For a life that cannot be sold.

More than this, the hopes and dreams you've carried all your days
A dying wish, the portents and the stars already say
You'll walk this line, if it takes you all your life.

'Til you don't want to live a life that feels like always dying,
These blackest thoughts the cost of always trying
For a life that cannot be sold.
