Failyre To Thrive

The season's over

The season's done

Too slow to notice

The fire's gone

So thin on the ground

With a chemical heart

And a cheap excuse

I've played my part

A torch to the error

And a cold hard look in the eye

I wonder why

You still wander 'round in rain

A torch to the error

And a cold hard look in the eye

I ask you why

You still wonder...

Run as long as you can

'Til you know what I mean

Not even the rain

Can make me clean

The content of those tiny hours

Contemplate the price of those shadows

Ever screaming toward the anvil

What was the price of those shadows, brother?

A torch to the error

And a cold hard look in the eye

I wonder why

You still wander 'round in rain

A torch to the error

And a cold hard look in the eye

I ask you why

You still wonder 'round in rain

A face to the terror

And a long sharp stick in the eye

I can't deny

My trespass in poor domain

A face to the terror

And a long sharp stick in the eye

I still decry

Your judgment

Your vanity

Your name

(Carry on)

I found a new ring; taught it to believe again

No broken memories remain -- no bloodsick "friends"

The years behind us have all taken wing

In ill-remembrance of a Mad Drunk King

Those who go hiding all their tears in wine

Will find that they've grown rotten on the vine

So carry on, dear brother -- I wish you well

(Just carrion)

With brighter days in mind -- so long -- farewell
