I hold on
I can't take it anymore
I've grown tired
I'm so alone
This place is dark & twisted
It's making me insane
I know I'm living but my body has escaped
You keep taking from me
but I stay anyway for you
To bend the hand that feeds
They stood & watched the scene
There's a clock ticking gently in the background
It foreshadows a violent wave
If I let it sink in I will drown
In my youth I faded to grey
Just a second
I can't take it anymore
Go, don't go
I've been worn down, beaten, defeated
I taught you wrong
Appreciate this
while there's still colour
Appreciate this
when it turns to black & white
Appreciate this
Your problems & your pains
Appreciate this
I'm fading to grey
I waltzed into the lobby
& lit up a cigarette
The bellboy says I'm early tonight
I smile & tip my hat
I intend to have a drink at the bar
Chorus:
Everyone leaves
The glasses are washed
& all of the lights are switched off
She turns into the alley at the back of the hotel
In the shadows she climbs
You don't have to go through it on your own
You sleep in a bed that's not even yours
When you look in the mirror
is it getting clearer that you should have never left home?
You live day by day through a fire escape
You sleep in a bed that you pray stays empty
