Limelight

We sway like brittle branches

One gust and to earth we come

I'm grinning because I know

I'm grinning just because

Taking orders never suited me

Saying no just for the thrill

But tonight we're moving slowly

While the cavalry moves in for the kill

I'm tired AND I'm sore

I'm not so young anymore

Worn down, but I imagine

This uniform stays in fashion

We've poured ourselves in these sweet white dying dogs

Some nights not kissing

Some nights just because

If we hear a crash

We can only EXPECT the worst

But tonight we're moving fast

While the party resumes the search

I'm tired AND I'm sore

I'm not so proud anymore

Worn DOWN, but I've decided

It's open casket you're all invited

My head in your lap from The wandering blackout

The touch of your hand, you're the last one to back out

There's nothing to argue, there's only a title

The worst's yet to come well the worst's not invited

I make separate fists while I swallowed the pride

I am haunting an old roll of telephone wires

It's not how it was but it's not getting lighter

The weight is immaculate, the depth is inspired

It's let in, eyes tired

I hold waste, stop fires

I want hope, faith higher

I'm lost now, loss tires

So let's embrace the twilight

While burning out the limelight
