Darkness descends
|
On everyone
|
Eventually
|
|
And still you keep past the hyenas
|
Wearing idiot suits
|
Past the reformers with holy pursuits
|
|
You're not the only one trying to hold on
|
To a kiss from yesterday
|
To a moment surrendered
|
When you were sure there was something more to say
|
|
And you're not the only one
|
With clothes so tattered
|
The eyes look sideways and then beyond
|
To thoughts of where you once came from
|
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
|
You're not the only one
|
Dead still from the beginning
|
Spinning a tribute to what could be
|
But you can't get happy through misery
|
And you're not the only one
|
|
You're not the only one
|
Down streets no shadows ever go
|
And still you keep moving
|
Past the shady cameras and artillery whores
|
|
You're not the only one
|
Against breaking skies and fall away floors
|
You're not the only one
|
Warped and wasted
|
With poison bought from yesterday
|
|
And you're not the only one
|
Drunk and holy
|
Aware of all that's come before
|
And what would come to stay
|
|
You're not the only one
|
In a slumber of booze and dreams
|
And even high ideals
|
|
But who are you
|
Still a no one
|
Still a mark
|
Still a seed
|
And who are you
|
You're not the only one
|
|
And who are you
|
You know you're not the only one
|
Who are you
|
You're not the only one
|
|

You're Not The Only One
