lyrics

I'm Working in silence
With bad dreams for guidance
Weaving a tale across the outlined keys all day

I'm Living in squalor
A ragged, sulking scholar
With friends in my memories
Those passing places

Cry woe to the masquerade
I can see it
Passing by my eyes
Nothing left but comprehension
Of mounting text and tension

Wait until it's subsided
A leisure provided
By expressing doubts that won't decay until someday

A comical future
With no sense of humor
Will cut the excess and roughly store it away

And redefine
The heartbeat of the moment
Each useable component
Applies

No deal, we'll take our misery
All the painted histories dry

Sometimes the author sits in badly lit roooms
For the sake of stillness in the thoughts it grooms
