Lyrics

Gotta stop
And take a breath
Before the next breakdown

Because you know damn well
There will be many more along the way

Our willows weep
For all who sleep
With our stone covered souls

While all our words
Are wasted on the wind

Our tired words
Are wasted on the wind

While all those colors of our past
Now seem so far apart

And there are no leaders in our garden
Or under our stars

So, I stand before you and watch your cruelty reign
As I gather up what dreams that still remain

You're so base and basic
You barely hold my attention

Then you're off to the very next thing
That you hate

I'm calling over to all mankind
We can't afford to lose our affections

For all our days are wasted on the wind
Our lonely days, wasted on the wind

While all those flowers of our past begin to fade
And there are no lovers resting under
My cover's shade

So, I lie here late in the night hour
Waiting for my life to change

As I gather up what good days still remain

Your mind is tripping
Your body's falling apart

And there's nothing like the cry of a human
With a desperate heart

I reached about myself
To find that old familiar light

But alas, my pockets are all empty
Right about tonight...

These pockets of mine
Worn with time
All empty tonight
