Stumbling through my hometown
I see a mirage of my youth
Through the clementine fog
In a waltz with dusty dreams until dawn
Oh! How I'd trumpet them loud
Bask and boast in the sound
What a mess I did make
When I left you in town
Now, I've walked through the fire, fooled the funeral pyre
Into setting me free, but I was born a liar
I'm resigned to nostalgia's callous kiss
Oh my how we've grown
Oh my how we've grown
But I'm sleeping alone
Do you still live at home?
It's a desperate atone to ward off the unknown
I'm shivering cold due to restlessness bones
I'm shivering cold due to hopelessness stones
All up along the coastline awash
Lie debris. And they scowl at me:
"Settle every debt to be free"
So the chorus it roars
And that sea foam ensures
More and more by the hour
'Til in their shadow I am obscured
In a coil I lay
As an insect does cower
And I sleep all day long
In a waltz with dusty dreams 'til I'm gone
There's a longing I fear
For those days filled with hope
But the memories pale
And I just want to know
That all is forgiven if I cry
That remorse is enough to make us alright
Oh my how we've grown
Oh my how we've grown
But I'm sleeping alone
Do you still live at home?
It's a desperate atone
I'm warding off the unknown
I'm shivering cold due to restlessness bones
I'm shivering cold due to hopelessness stones
I'm dragging along a ball and chain for my wrongs
They flitter above
I can't reach them enough
Not enough for to hold
Listless, I'm inconsolable
With a shadow in tow
A foul tale I'd wish to unknow..
