lyrics

She marries in a sudden fling
The man confused with the dream
but something's missing
By the time she figures it out
It's too late to do anything about
What could have been

The rest you know too well

He makes himself
a thousand vows
in the mirror when there's no one around
no one keeps score
In the end
it's apparent to all
just how far he falls short
and he hates them for it
He can't tell the truth from lies
He can't tell the mirror from eyes
He's lost count

The rest you know too well

Crawling on our knees when our legs give way
Gasping for breath when our heart loses strength
standing on authority, tradition and hatred
standing on each other when and calling it sacred
taking our place in the terminal ward
with an inheritance of regret to pass on
to the newborn
