lyrics

(Glory be to nightfall
To the Time of Recall)
Curse the terror the stars make
I lie in wake
I pray for day’s break

(You know that strength comes from sorrow)
But outcasts always mourn
(The day weaves the threads from the night it borrows)
And my dress has torn

(You are a light
Inside someone’s endless night)
You are a curse on someone’s heart
Because you can’t finish what you start

(And each rabbit hole I follow)
Sends me spinning in time
(I met you and fell into a dream)
And I lost my mind

And, you know, I sing because
I can’t think of anything to say
And once I do, it’s too late

But I know he’ll give me
A two point eight
Because he didn’t think I had enough to say
Or didn’t say it the right way

And I’ll get upset and I’ll say,
“Well, who are you to judge my pain?
Just who are you to say?”

And I’ll get angry and I’ll say,
“Who died and made you fucking
King of the Pain Parade,
Anyway?”

And I’ll get petty and I’ll say,
“Maybe you just hate women;
It’s not my fault you can’t
Get laid”

And I struck a nerve and he’ll say,
“There was a time when your music
Might have mattered to someone,
But someone’s said all you have to say”
