lyrics

Simmer down young warriors now
Keep the flames at bay
Gather round - for its a lovely sound
Which our companionship creates
Out of this pain - free from the hate
We came to an understanding
That in this place - even the ugliest face
Can smile – laughing away the
Shame that defines us on the outside – our jobs, our homes
But here I don't have to know your names
To know that I am not alone
And out from this all springs hope infernal
A deviant delight
We enter through the evening
And exit to the night

Nothing I do can save me now
Nothing I say will matter
Oh how I wish there was something that I could say
But there isn't.
So, anyway
I guess this was fun while it lasted
And we'll always have these memories
To hold onto – yearn for
Revisit – restore
Like the scent of freshness
Of dew on the leaves
My hope springing infernal
Whipping wind through the trees
But what I really need now
Can't be found in a past
Which only echoes a dream
Which in shadows was cast
Throughout the whole of my life
There's been no turning back
And now there's only moving forth towards that light
And it's beautiful
But it's not what I want at all
Not what I had in mind
And it's not like I really care
Cause it's not that I even tried
Cause this is not what I want at all
This is not what I had in mind
