There's a woman in the balcony weeping
Licking her lips at the fall
There's a boy in the bathroom who talks to the blade
Choking back the rage for it all
Yeah, outside, the darkness is creeping as the night shoves the day from the sky
And me, I'm still here, still lonely and stupid
Born me and I still don't know why
Yeah, hey-yeah

There's an iron-gray river that licks at its edges
And crawls through the grass outside town
And with a voice sweet as honey it beckons the faithful
And lovingly pushes them down, down, down, down, yeah Outside, the daylight's receding and the moon is so full and so high
And me, I'm still here, so stupid and lonely
Can't think and I don't wanna try

There's no one searching for your weaknesses
(For) what you're gonna do, what you're gonna feel, what you're gonna say
And I'm so fuckin sick of this emptiness
While the dead lay in rows, watched over by crows
We don't see, we don't speak, we don't hear Nothing at all

Well, there is no shame
I see no shame in this
Change your life, search for bliss
I see no shame in this
'Cause I tell you truth is not something, my friend
You'll find written on the insides of your wrists
And absolute truth is not something, my friend, that exists, is it?

And all we see is outside our cages
The whole god damned world seems to fly
Seems to me, padlocks made of hallucinations
They fascinate ravens on high, high, high, yeah
Outside, the night won't be stopped
And it's waiting for someone to try
Lusting to kill all now
