|
a thousand rainy days |
|
and i spoke on tongues that talk of saints |
|
burned down days like cigarettes |
|
for your hollow praise |
|
down the days that you forget |
|
count the pictures that you keep |
|
keep it, hide it all away |
|
let it never show |
|
all of this and i regret |
|
not a day that i was sent |
|
celebrated and arose |
|
for your vanity in vain |
|
framed the faces i applaud |
|
all the same sad eyes |
|
write the world between the lines |
|
i heard it all, i heard it spoke |
|
like a name i call my life |
|
let it never show |
|
all of this i now regret |
|
not a day that i was sent |
|
not a name that i might place |
|
not at my parade |
|
in the four walls of my room |
|
standing where i wait |
|
others praised and i can't come |
|
tore the pictures off my walls |
|
there's a secret that i keep |
|
let it never show |
|
all of this i now regret |
|
not a day that i was sent |
|
all of this i now regret |
|
not a name that i might place |
|
not at my parade |
|
framed the faces i applaud |
|
all the same sad eyes |
|
write the world between the lines |
|
i heard it all, i heard it spoke |
|
in the four walls of my room |
