Lyrics
Mankind
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Now the ghost has left the room
And the music's gotten bad
The party's feeling rotten
Was that the best we've ever had?
Sometimes the thoughts in my head
Yeah they terrify me
When you understand the radical
And the pure simplicity
Singin'
Goodbye to patience
Farewell to dreams
So long to sacred
Well it's as painful as it seems
Still I won't write off
No I won't write off
No I won't write off
Mankind
Well I don't believe you'd go to hell
But I like the sound of heaven
I took a pill and went there in my mind
In spring 2007
Well the message came through loud and clear
So I hung up the phone
It didn't bring me any peace my love
But I did not feel alone
Singin'
Goodbye to patience
Farewell to dreams
So long to sacred
Well it's as painful as it seems
Still I won't write off
No I won't write off
No I won't write off
Mankind
No I won't write off
No I won't write off
No I won't write off
Mankind
God knows I could use a lover lately
God knows I could use a lover lately
Still I won't write off
No I won't write off
No I won't write off
Mankind
Oh I won't write off
No I won't write off
No I won't write off
Mankind
No I won't write off
No I won't write off
No I won't write off
Mankind
