Woke up with an aftertaste of spinning dreams
Still lingering within your mind
And now that thin veneer of lying happiness is easier to find
There were rooms filled with photographs And memories of evil laughs for all
There were girls sitting on your knee And begging you to let them be themselves
There were streets paved with broken words
That shattered down beneath the perfect skies
And there were times when I never thought
I'd find the many things I'd sought were lies
It's the place that I would go to if I had the choice
But look below the surface and I know you'll find
That the only way to reach it's to keep going on
On, on, on.
I saw friends sitting side by side and pleading for their lives
I saw walls warding off the pain and holding in the light
I heard bells ringing in the day their voices clamoring loud
I head cries of delight and terror at the tolling sound...
