The Song They Play Every Night

Dark, ringing through the sky Shaking in the clouds 'til the harps are out of tune And the song they play every night Keeping you awake while the thought sleeps in your soul And every load I took to fill the hole that caved inside Just made it deeper, darker, and wider than before Don't make me say it out loud anymore And I cop, just to change my scene And turn a useful nightmare into a boring dream And my room, like a map of my time It's always half past twelve and divided by two lines And every step I took to take me further from the source Just brought me closer, inward, and more lost than before Don't make me say it out loud anymore Oh well, if you don't love me now, you didn't love me before My love is turning into grief (ah, ah-ah) And loneliness, thy enemy, is my only relief From a child lost in a crowd (ah, ah-ah) Looking for the landmarks that you keep burning down And every sip I took from cups I carved out of my skull Just made me older, slower, and sadder than before Don't make me say it out loud anymore Oh no, if you don't love me now, you didn't love me before
