This is a declaration of war onto lost words and actions We weren't even close to coming clean I tried to be more than just talk But I hated the taste and was swallowed into the street It's a fake sense of safety And I for one will not be strung along I'm still hoping to be something greater Still inhaling the same fumes Still hoping it'll all be gone Maybe I've just felt dead for too long But I watched them take your mountains Your skies and all the lights from your eyes And I felt so helpless I always thought I nursed the things that plague me But then they avalanche into the patterns in which I sleep Now and again I find myself in native lands Where the hell have I been? How will anyone ever understand? Avalon, Avalon you haunt me I didn't think that it would hit this hard Avalon, Avalon you haunt me
