lyrics

Towards the end
The cycle's different but
Somehow just the same

So my friend
We were so persistent and
No one is to blame

But fault follows me
Like a plague
And bends me 'till I break

I know it seems that this will remain but
People die, we move on
Nothing stays the same

And I don't think I've ever been more afraid
'cause I am just a shell and nothing more

I'm asking why
I finally had the chance to say goodbye
To turn my back on everything,
Set fire to this life

I've realized
That though the lights seem dim tonight
The horizons burning bright
And everything will be alright tonight

Now and then
My indifference is
Swayed by the winds of change

I just pretend
That this is existence is
More than just a game

But self doubt cuts me
Like a blade, and
I fear I may never stand up straight

I know
It's probably my fate, but
Fuck these lies, and fuck this body that's a cage

'Cause I am just a shell
And nothing more

I'm asking why
I finally had the chance to say goodbye
To turn my back on everything,
Set fire to this life

I've realized
That though the lights seem dim tonight
The horizons burning bright
And everything will be alright tonight

When I finally close my eyes
It'll be with an answer; I hope

That I leave this place, this shell,
And this bike with broken spokes

And maybe there'll be meaning
In the things that I wrote

But a poet's just a man
That you didn't know
