lyrics

Blinking my eyes as we pass these city lights
We emerge from a memory and begin to shed some years
Escaping a future which we thought that we were bound,
When found in the darkness new rhythm for an old song

A promise that we made at the brink of childhood
Well, we've well-worn out our word,
And we're going back on it now
But give me one more day, and I will fulfill it with my blood.
No, hang on;
I don't owe you anything

Trying to stick the pieces back where they never did fit
What the hell's the point in carrying on this old charade?
We've never seen eye to eye, and I'm tiring in trying
So pick up what's left of the dream and toss the scraps aside
