lyrics

These twisted words running through my head
As my twisted body lay upon my bed
I thought about what it meant instead
When I was just getting by

Swimming through a sea of drought
Never uttering a scream or shout
Just a victim of my own self doubt
But does it really matter?

Chorus:
I'll sing a song for pleasure
I'll sing a song of pain
Can you tell me what is the measure
To make a man feel like a king again

Driving down a long dirt road
Thinking about the love I've showed
Running it down, until my head explodes
Has it really made a difference?

I've been forsaken and alone
Embraced by love when I've come home
Slipped, declined, and fell like Rome
Living among the ruins

There's a voice out in the wilderness
Sweeter than any lover's kiss
That can show the true meaning of happiness
But can you really hear it?

Chorus

Now a hard rain is driving down
Flooding rivers with the sound
A treasure lost again is found
Revealed throughout the heavens

These things I've seen with my very own eyes
Wondrous visions of paradise
Only a fraction scarcely memorized
Have all vanished in the ether

You don't really know me, nor I you
The fleeting time we've got just flew
Isn't that a fine how-do-you-do
But you can't deny it either

Chorus

Drinking poison hemlock, I drained the cup
Knocked it back, and set 'em back up
Laughed and cried at my own bad luck
But I made it out alive

Soon I flew into a burning rage
Spitting out fire on the written page
Engulfed by flames I could not assuage
Until the shadow passed me over

Then it all became eerily still
Rolling thunder crashed up over the hill
Twisted it's way to bend to my will
And the stillness was golden

Chorus
