We Missed the Parade

This is careless and hurtful

For our ageing throats

To be preaching the wild souls

As no one else can bring us back home

We're chewing our tongue and season

Our wretched voice

Preaching the wild souls

Lost in the void (Lost in the void)

Our pointless moans

Replace those of faceless sons

We missed the halt a while ago

We're just sticking to modest roles

Embrace the void

This is crushing our kneecaps

And crooked arms

To be dancing with wild souls

But no one else will walk us back home

We're dragging our hips and ankles

Weak limping waltz

Dancing as wild souls

Deep in the void (Deep in the void)

Our dried up source

Died with your teenage ball

We parched ourselves a while ago

We're just sticking to modest goals

Embrace the void

And those who haven't quit yet

Won't dare a step above

All those who don't drift

But reach for normal hopes

Muzzling their wild souls

Will end a step above (Step above)

This is careless and hurtful

For our ageing throats

To be preaching the wild souls

Lost in the void (Lost in the void)

Our pointless moans

Replace those of faceless sons

We missed the halt a while ago

We're just sticking to modest roles

All those who don't drift

But reach for normal hopes

Will stay safe and end a step above

Stuck at the crossroad

Proud but sure lost

We missed the parade

They're all a step above (Step above)
