lyrics

damn you all
I'm calling your bluff
what else is left to be done?
run amok, headfirst in mud
no turns, steer blind
crave, passions of your lost life
pianos burning, books unread
pay won't last the daybreak
violins hung, bills due
buried my youth in a cheap grave.
laugh it off,
it's just half your life.
don't look for a clue,
the story's never been about you.
don't expect me to entertain you,
I've stopped having fun long ago.
damn you all
I'm calling you out
knees gave out in thirty years
chewed and spat out
ambitions paved over.
shiver, haunted crews of missed boats
brought up on yearnings
future never takes shape.
bite their tongues, they clean the mess
still chasing the same promise.
laugh it off,
it's just half your life.
don't you look for a clue
the story's never been about you
don't expect me to entertain you
I've stopped having fun long ago.
days, weeks, years with wings
fly away with strangers on their backs.
you people have been lying to me,
all this time I've been late for the wrong train.
you people have been lying to me,
playing games, convince me to stay here.
