maybe I’m in my head
I think I’ll stay a bit longer
hopeless and I’m running out
of reasons to be stronger

your hands are gonna rust
you’ll suffer on your own
you’ll remember when you wake
the testimony of your soul

ancient talks of this decay
put out like a cigarette
you and I can keep our ways
‘cause we haven’t seen the real world yet
flashing chances in my blood
afraid of losing what we thought was us
darling we don’t need to lie within
we just want to be invited in

the howling starlight breaks the night
got me gazing from a hardwood bridge
simple people keep their own
in the vacant systems they forgive

was it when they turned away
came the cold and bitter days?
was it love that made me breathe?
am I just falling from my dreams?

grain of time
lest we live
everybody’s feeling lonely
trying to ring the bells of glory
dressed to the sound
of my pride

ancient talks of this decay
put out like a cigarette
steadily I see the way
but I haven’t seen the real world yet
I been made to keep my promise
and I won’t give up on this
darling we don’t need to try and win
we just wanted to be invited in
