lyrics

I carry a wallet, phone, and keys

Or is it that they carry me?

I'm alone and locked out and broke all about

Lost freedom or cruel destiny?



There are believers and those who conceive

Wielding these cleavers we're all bound to bleed

Damned or riteous, your loss I do grieve

Maybe someday you'll be there for me.



Honesty and kindness were married

Until an irreconcilable split

For you can't be both good and well understood

I'm not sure who's the first one to quit.



There are deceivers and those they deceive

Hands for these levers is all that we need

You may not be riteous but your loss I do grieve

Maybe someday you'll be there for me.



The stage is ever my footing

And life: an ongoing play

Where good and bad men are just men in the end

There: I just gave it away.



A good thing that dies will live on in name

Among all the tombstones of evil remains

The big picture don't have any edges to frame

Love life and you'll die in vain.
