Reverberation

My head is like an unblocked drain
My head is full of brains
My instincts are to kiss this train
I hear it coming


You're conscious says mind how you go
Your ________ still says no
Your morals ebb
Your morals flow
Your mouth is running


Though all the rules do not apply
And mine is not to reason why
Gone, gone, gone


My arms are like two shipyard crains
That may not work again
My fortunes wax
My fortunes wane
My sense is sundered


A carpet cheer
A cheerless heart
The path i darn not to jot
________ against not quite the parts
Someone has blundered


Though all the rules do not apply
And mine is not to reason why
Gone, gone, gone


To all this grand old scheme of things
To all the pain it brings
To all those who pull the strings
I bid good ridence


Surpass the time to call it a phrase
I meant a million was
To counterfit my solid days
And split the difference


Though all the rules do not apply
And mine is not to reason why
Though all the rules do not apply
And mine is not to reason why
Gone, gone, gone

Whisper who dares
Your daylight glows
I doubt that it shows me
Covered in glory


A problem shared
Is entertainment
In your hands
Ain't life bland


What matter or
What consequence in truth
All our lives strange honor
In a realm of false goodbyes


Suspend belief
But keep it brief
Thereby hangs a tale friend
Hung from your wit's end


And is that all
The level best
That you can do
More fool you


What matter or
What consequence in truth
All our lives strange honor
In a realm of false goodbyes


Such dedication in the plot
Such animation and for what
A pile of nothing life is not
And when the crowd come out to play
I'll read the lesson for today
About the one that got away


What matter or
What consequence in truth
All our lives strange honor
In a realm of false goodbyes


What matter or
What consequence in truth
All our lives strange honor
In a realm of false goodbyes

Nature abhors a vacuum
I have read
Tell me how'd you explain
Your empty head
You hurt the one you love
Because you can
As if violence was a virtue
In a man


The king of your castle
Right behind you
How i'll blind you
A fist full of feeling
Blaming it all on lack of my love


The mad, glad days of romance
Were the best
When you kept your cards pressed tight
Against your chest
But soon, soon, all too soon
She'd understand
And she'd see and feel
The back of your right hand


The king of your castle
Right behind you
How i'll blind you
A fist full of feeling
Blaming it all on lack of my love


King rad, god on a barstool
Hold your court
So self-centered, so diluted
So self-taught
Home bound sound as a pound
You board your round
Round one begins tonight
Behind closed doors


The king of your castle
Right behind you
How i'll blind you
A fist full of feeling
Blaming it all on lack of my love


The king of your castle
Right behind you
How i'll blind you
A fist full of feeling
Blaming it all on lack of my love

It was cheap at half the price
Took a shovel where a spoon would suffice
Now i can't see you
Now i can't see you


Regimental in my way
Detrimental at the end of the day
But you won't be told
No, you won't be told


I will be, i will be
I won't be frightened
I will be, i will be
I'll be enlightened


Word of pain you so to say
There's a splinter in your
Splendor today
I could believe you
I would believe you


There's a world inside your world
There's a glass house where the insults are held
But you won't be told
No, you won't be told


I will be, i will be
I won't be frightened
I will be, i will be
I'll be enlightened


Took a chainsaw to my mind
Did arrange i'd left a sad world behind
But all will be fine
Yes, all will be fine


I will be, i will be
I won't be frightened
I will be, i will be
I won't be enlightened


I will be, i will be
(you're shy _______)
I won't be frightened
(you try but still the words won't come)
I will be, i will be
(you're shy _______)
I won't be enlightened


I will be, i will be
(you're shy _______)
I won't be frightened
(you try but still the words won't come)
I will be, i will be
(your chance had turned)
I won't be enlightened


I will be, i will be
I won't be frightened
I will be, i will be
I won't be enlightened

Failure's child is weak and mild
Wide-eyed and ___________
A moment is the most
She'll hang her day upon
Others plan a life
Without the faintest hope of change
And belay all her knowledge
Of where hope has gone


In these ugly times
An ugly mind will have its say
And your betters would not
Have it any other way


Oh my eyesfor the sins
I may not shed
Burn like coals
Inside my head
Smoldering black
And flaming red


Oh my eyesfor the sins
I may not shed
Burn like coals
Inside my head
Smoldering black
And flaming red


Reconciled and pacified
By bread and circus clowns
Who keep you all in stitches
As they keep you down
Dust yourself down


Tell me what on earth
The fuss was for
'cause what you've seen is nothing
To what's still in store


In these ugly times
An ugly mind will have its say
And your betters would not
Have it any other way


Oh my eyesfor the sins
I may not shed
Burn like coals
Inside my head
Smoldering black
And flaming red


Oh my eyesfor the sins
I may not shed
Burn like coals
Inside my head
Smoldering black
And flaming red


Oh my eyesfor the sins
I may not shed
Burn like coals
Inside my head
Smoldering black
And flaming red
