LIKE CRACKS IN THE TWILIGHT
MORE DARKNESS PUSHING THROUGH
THROUGH AND THROUGH
TO ME AND YOU

AND THE STREETS ARE NO LONGER
THE STREETS THAT I REMEMBER
BRIDGES BURNT IN FRONT ME
AND THE BRIDGES WERE BUT EMBERS

AND THE RAIN IT STARTS TO POUR
AND THE WOUNDS THEY START TO OOZE
THE TIGHTENING OF THE NOOSE
IF YOU BLINK YOU KNOW YOU'LL LOSE
I NEVER REAP WHAT I SOW
IN DAWNS THAT NEVER COME
IN NIGHT THAT NEVER DAWNS
A THOUSAND SETTING SUNS

THERE'S SALT IN THE WOUND
YEARS THAT WON'T COME BACK
THE PAST IS IN FRONT ME
LOVERS DRESSED IN BLACK

THE WELLS ARE ALL DRIED UP
THE CROPS ARE BURNT AND BARE
THIS CITY'S FULL OF CHILDREN
WITH COLD AND VACANT STARES

THERE'S NOTHING FOR ME HERE
NOTHING FOR ME HERE
NOTHING BUT DESPAIR
I FEEL IT IN THE AIR
NOTHING FOR ME HERE
I SEE IT IN THEIR STARE
NOTHING FOR ME HERE

A POISONED LOVE FOR A POISONED LIFE
A SOULLESS DIRGE IN THE HEART OF NIGHT
THE HUNT IS ON THE DOGS ARE LOOSE
YOUR LOVELY WORDS WHAT A LOVELY RUSE
THE END IS NIGH THE SLOW GOODBYES
WITH EMPTY HANDS MY HEART ON FIRE
A JUDAS KISS A KISS OF DEATH
A GOODBYE KISS AT THE VERY BEST

A COUP DE GRÂCE FROM A LOVERS HANDS
THE FINAL THRUST NO SECOND CHANCE
THIS SHIP HAS SAILED AND NO RETURN
A BROKEN HOPE NO LESSON LEARNED

AND THE TEARS ARE NO LONGER
THE TEARS THAT I REMEMBER
TEARS THAT TURNED TO SCARS
SCARS THAT ALWAYS LINGER
AND LOVE IS NO LONGER
THE LOVE THAT I REMEMBER
CHOKED AND GONE AND SMOTHERED
LOST IN TIME FOREVER
FLICKING THROUGH THE PAGES
OF A SOLITARY LIFE
A HAND ON MY SHOULDER?
OR JUST ANOTHER KNIFE?

THERE'S NOTHING FOR ME HERE
NOTHING BUT DESPAIR
I FEEL IT IN THE AIR
NOTHING FOR ME HERE
I SEE IT IN THEIR STARE
NOTHING FOR ME HERE
NOTHING BUT DESPAIR
AND DID YOU EVEN CARE?
MY HEART LAID BARE
NOTHING FOR ME HERE
I CAN'T BREATHE THE AIR
NOTHING FOR ME HERE
I SEE IT IN YOUR STARE
NOTHING FOR ME HERE
