SORROW

Around the fog, below the fog
Behind the fog, above the fog

I’ve been seen on their side
But I’ve been sober tonight
I’ve been seen lost at night
With fewer stars alight

 

Now I’ve got you to tell the story
And I’ve got you to resign to this world
And I feel all the sounds are so hollow
And I wish to desert all this sorrow

And I feel complete sorrow
Complete sorrow
Utter grief strikes you
Something’s so wrong
Something’s so foul
Closer to the sewers

Some will fight and some will not but all will lie

 

Around the fog, below the fog
Behind the fog, above the fog

I was so hurt, I was injured
The day I was born

I’ve been sober, I’ve been sober
Now I feel something
Now I’ve got you to desert all this sorrow

 

I reach to you to implore, make it go
All this grief, all the strain drives me so low
Complete sorrow, complete sorrow
Light won’t pierce this fog
Times are over, times are over, times are over you

Some are fragile some are not, but all are seeking shelter

 

Him: You got sunlight
Her: I brought sunlight for you
Him: But it’s too late
Her: Does that matter today?
Him: I’ve done things I can’t…
Her: oohhh forget…there’s no blame
Let’s head somewhere that’s safe
Him: To make this one a longer night

 

Were there signs before?
I never saw, flying or hiding, where?
Were there signs before?
The mission and the compromise
I must have been afraid
No one sang these words
The tremor of a broken voice can’t prevent this blood
Were there signs before?
Beauty held behind
All we hoped vanished before us
Were there signs before?
Festering wounds in a fostering world and all illusion gone
Were there signs before?
I believe I remember the wind in my ear, the message so unclear
Were there signs before?
If there were they could not be caught so how could I have fought?

 

Embrace the fog, take in the fog
Inhale the fog, breathe in the fog

I’ve got you to desert all this sorrow
I’ve got you to resign to this world
I can take you now to the outside
I can lead our procession to nowhere
I’ve got you to proclaim all the sorrow
