[Part I]
|
|
so where do we begin
|
and what else can we say?
|
when the lines are all drawn
|
what should we do today?
|
|
[Part II]
|
|
are you listening
|
am i here screaming?
|
drowning in a silent sea
|
or only dreaming?
|
|
drifting in and out
|
his mind never rests
|
lying in shadows
|
replaying a thousand regrets
|
|
can you hear me
|
am i getting through?
|
a million miles away
|
or here beside you?
|
|
drifting in and out
|
his heart never forgets
|
lying in shadows
|
replaying a thousand regrets
|
|
and the minutes just pass
|
as the hours change
|
and the shifting sands
|
slowly rearrange
|
|
drifting in and out
|
his mind never rests
|
lying in shadows
|
replaying a thousand regrets
|
|
[Part III]
|
|
there's a cloud above us
|
and there's a shadow on us
|
and outside of us
|
hangs this shade of gray
|
|
rain falling
|
hours crawling
|
all around this shade of gray
|
|
there's a chill about us
|
and there's a sadness with us
|
and deep within us
|
lies this shade of gray
|
|
rain falling
|
hours crawling
|
all around this shade of gray
|
this shade of gray
|
"rain's falling, hours crawling"
|
this shade of gray
|
"rain's falling, hours crawling"
|
|
there's a space beside us
|
and there's miles between us
|
and all around us
|
grows this shade of gray
|
|
rain falling
|
hours crawling
|
all around this shade of gray
|
|
rain falling
|
hours crawling
|
all around this shade of gray
|
this shade of gray
|
"rain's falling, hours crawling"
|
this shade of gray
|
"rain's falling, hours crawling"
|
|
[Part IV]
|
|
listen
|
only us breathing
|
and the rain keeping time
|
dividing the silence
|
in a distant thunder
|
|
listen
|
only hearts beating
|
and the rain keeping time
|
measuring out the minutes
|
and taking us under
|
|
[Part V]
|
|
murdered in munich
|
crucified in rome
|
was killing time
|
on the long road home
|
|
let nothing bleed into nothing
|
and did nothing
|
let nothing bleed into nothing
|
and did nothing at all
|
|
withered in winter
|
wished away the night
|
was out of mind
|
while out of sight
|
|
let nothing bleed into nothing
|
and did nothing
|
let nothing bleed into nothing
|
and did nothing at all
|
|
let nothing bleed into nothing
|
and did nothing
|
let nothing bleed into nothing
|
and did nothing at all
|
|
watched the days just pass
|
as the seasons changed
|
and the shifting sands
|
slowly rearranged
|
|
but i will not eulogize
|
i won't apologize
|
i will not defend
|
anymore, anymore
|
i will not dramatize
|
i won't soliloquize
|
i will not pretend
|
anymore, anymore
|
|
[Part VI]
|
|
i know that i don't know you
|
and you couldn't know me
|
but time and space collided
|
and here we are, here we are
|
|
i know that you don't understand
|
and i can't explain
|
but circumstance conspired
|
and here we are, here we are
|
|
"the time is four nineteen..."
|
"time flies..."
|
"???"
|
"the answer is no..."
|
|
and i know we can't turn back all the years
|
time reflected in a shade of gray
|
but i often wonder what could have been
|
and i still hold on to yesterday
|
|
and i know we're not children any more
|
innocence lost in a sea of gray
|
but i often wonder what else could be
|
and i still dream of running away
|
|
so where do we begin
|
and what else can we say?
|
when the lines are all drawn
|
what should we do today?
|
|
[Part VII]
|
|
stare from the darkness
|
hear the silence call?
|
devise divisions, delay decisions,
|
watch the hours crawl and...
|
|
let nothing bleed into nothing
|
and do nothing?
|
let nothing bleed into nothing
|
and do nothing at all?
|
|
recite soliloquies
|
to shadows on the wall?
|
revise revisions, reverse decisions
|
watch our heros fall and...
|
|
let nothing bleed into nothing
|
and do nothing?
|
let nothing bleed into nothing
|
and do nothing at all?
|
|
"i want you to do me a favor..."
|
"i want you to get a gun...and just shoot me! shoot me!"
|
|
let nothing bleed into nothing
|
and do nothing?
|
let nothing bleed into nothing
|
and do nothing at all?
|
|
let nothing bleed into nothing
|
and do nothing?
|
let nothing bleed into nothing
|
and do nothing at all?
