Hungry Lights - The Ticket Out lyrics

A sudden fight broke with who I was and who I am The latter hung himself to avoid the confrontation And I feel the mourn Should I be ashamed? Should I even really care? His weapon is gone, but I'm still afraid Because he still has both my hands bound A sudden fight broke with two children in the street They were playing with guns and one was mad the other lived And I saw the red O' I was ashamed that I witnessed such an atrocious Example of what our world has become! So I put both of my hands up Well pardon my lack of concern But I need a way out And this pa**ive, sick-cycle world Can't buy me a ticket for the train -My ride out of this hollow, broken hell I'm at the gate, and I only see one way out of here -Down A sudden fight broke with my left hand and my right They wanted to see who could paint a better a portrait on the concrete I shouted, "Enough! You should be ashamed!" But the likeness was well done I guess it's my work No one else to blame So I took the credit for myself Well pardon my lack of concern But I need a way out And this pa**ive, sick-cycle world Can't buy me a ticket for the train -My ride out of this hollow, broken hell I'm at the gate, and I only see one way out of here So I crippled my hands and smiled 'Cause I made a fortune Off that rust-colored, tear-filled mess atop the asphalt And this self-made portrait of pain could buy me the ticket for the train I'm at the gate I'm at the gate I'm at the gate -Down
