There was once a way we could burn like your horizon
Before your wind and snow covered my great divide
Now it's nights like these my body takes the poison
Because it's better than
Wasting away like a corpse in a coffin;
Capitol Hill, in a lonely apartment
I know, you're heading back home
After the movie
It was clear that I'd surrendered
Under her smile she bares
Such sharp and crooked teeth
Those last nights felt so long and never ending
Because the town that I live in
It's got no feeling
I've got no reason
To try and make it out alive again
So I got to know right now my friend
I got to know, what's your commitment to this cause
Are you old enough to give in
We can call it off
I got to know, I got to know
Lo and Behold
I see that smoke from your signal fire
Start flattening, The horizon seems to be calling me
Feeling it deep inside my soul, Like a river
Down the road, I roll, I go
You said it with your eyes, just say it isn't so
Say it isn't so
Who knew that a masquerade could lead us to a moment, When you fade away like smoke
We were wanton, young, hungry ghosts
Searching for something
But coming up empty handed, yet again
So I got to know right now my friend
I got to know, what's your commitment to this cause
Are we old enough to give in
We can call it off
I got to know, I got to know
I got to know, I got to know
I got to know
