Words have yet to crush The barricade Content to lie upon A razor blade Lights go down Enter shades of grey Observe the setting sun As we all fade away Tide is looming All consuming Tide is looming All consuming Past, present and future tense I turn black as you face west Clouded in the shadows with Smoke and fog and memory Sleeping inside broken glass Drinking from a broken cup Dancing in a broken field With broken shoes and broken melodies The song keeps playing out of tune Out of time and out of sync Out where darkness festers loudly You go proudly into oblivion The red light, the good fight A good night to turn your head There exists a force Of consequence Built to tear away Your best defense Lights go down Enter shades of grey Observe the setting sun As we all fade away Tide is looming All consuming Tide is looming All consuming Nothing lasts forever Nothing lasts forever when you're Thick as thieves, dried-up leaves Watching paint dry, watching yesterday The distant bell is calling New scars formed in falling rain Frozen wounds and frozen truths Wash it down then take some more Candy coloured sleeping pills Candy flavoured plastic thrills Plastic smiles and perfumed clothes A closet full of fabrications The dust collecting on the Shattered playground, merry-go-round And round and round Those who sleep meet devastation Open eyes shall find salvation Lights go down Those who sleep meet devastation Open eyes shall find salvation Lights going down written by wonkknow & Cayce Andrew
