about

LYRICS
Such a lonely man, does what a lonely man can.
Same time to wake, same drugs to sleep, same lines on his face.
Always sheds a tear, like only a lonely man can.
His castle on the hill, beats kids off the fence. No lawn, just weeds.
No cause, no light, no hope, no end,
No change, no dreams, no end.

Walks alone at night, like only a lonely man can.
Eats out most days, goes a girl sometime, but no smile on his face.
No goal, no edge, no flair, no fire,
no bright, no bells, no stars,
no hope, no touch, no warmth,
no child, no voice, no God.

Tell me before you go, what did you want to be?
Where did things all go wrong?
Why you failed, who you made, what did you do that comes to be?
How did you come to be alone?
how many times you must have tried you waited long you waited high.
when did it all slow down?
Are you as tired as you seem to be, this may well be your fantasy.
are you happier this way
no hope no change no friends
no goals no change no end.
