lyrics

It's a dead man hanging in a children's parade
It's a daylight betrayal and a midnight charade
See your corpse in the mirrors of the shards of your houses of glass
It's a carnival freakshow where the deaf kill the blind
Where the able are slaughtered but nobody minds
Another day going nowhere, if you're lucky it won't go too fast
When the codeine's flowing, want to take my time
Want to sing a love song with the funeral chimes
To a girl who pretends that the fallout is nothing but snow
Cyanide in the water and I'm dry like a bone
If you won't violate me then just leave me alone
Another dirt-poor suicide waiting for the time to go
I can see that each beginning brings about nothing more than countdowns to their end
Me, I'm just waiting waiting for the rain to pass the time
Nothing left to believe, got nothing to defend
Now my alibi's level, holding hands with the devil
Kill the silence with violence while the holy ones revel
And I'll watch from the corner til the minutes are too few to waste
When your angels approach you for to carry you home
Try as hard as you can not to see you're alone
Another surplus soul spent as ten more are born to replace
I can see that each beginning brings about nothing more than countdowns to their end
Me, I'm just waiting waiting for the rain to pass the time
Nothing left to believe, got nothing to defend
So they say, so it goes
I'll be shooting holes in the sky
So they say, so I guess
I could leave it all behind
I could take the words from your mouth
I could jump out of the window
I could walk the streets and sleep
I could wake up any minute
Nothing worth saying here
There's no reason to say anything
Epitaphs in the clouds
"Say goodbye before the shots ring"
I could take the words from your mouth
I could jump out of the window
I could walk the streets and sleep
I could wake up any minute
