Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This song goes out
To all the hopeless sinners
With grave allegiances so meaningless and vain
The walking wounded, in a pageant of contenders
Who balance on a rail of pain for just a pail of rain
[Verse 2]
And everything
Is barely mist
Blood relations and bricks
My expression, my confession
Add it up, extract a lesson more than this
Once again, like a bullet, as a friend
Tell me, can that be all there is?
[Verse 3]
In my rectory of doubt
I kneel to pray like one devout
As time the great gray dreamless sleep
Of a useless modern God
Erodes away each storied day, as
Wretched Adams with hell to pay
Content upon a rail of pain for just a little rain
[Verse 4]
And everything
Is dearly missed
Blood relations and bricks
My expression, my confession
Add it up, extract a lesson more than this
Once again, like a bullet, as a friend
Tell me, can that be all there is?
[Verse 5]
There's an endless disposition
And it doesn't mean a god damn thing
There's a space for a paper airplane race
In the eye of a hurricane
And if pigs could fly, then surely so could I
But this pedestrian knows better than to even try
And my divinity is caught between the colors of a butterfly
[Verse 6]
And everything
Is dearly missed
Blood relations and bricks
My expression, my confession
Add it up, extract a lesson more than this
Once again, like a bullet, as a friend
Tell me, can that be all there is?
All there is
