Thursday - "A Gun In The First Act"

.

I saw you standing with a broken cigarette out in the rain.

I guess all our lives are a little less than they seem.

Now you're praying to the memory of a god you used to love

A reminder of his death hanging low around your neck

Do you find sleep comes easy?

.

Dancing with the empty silhouette of everything

Our waking lives are just the dreams of our dreams.

Standing in the city asking what it's all for but

There's nothing in this world

that giving meaning makes it more:

The louder the ring, the less the thing.

The louder the ring, the less the thing.

.

When we see black clouds coming over our heads,

over our heads,

Then we know where it's ending

A loaded gun hanging over our heads...

We already know the way it ends.

.

Screaming from a stage or at a pay-phone in the rain

Trying to find the words I always think I need to say.

Please, bring it back to the moment before you left

I never felt the sting.

The louder the ring, the less the thing.

The louder the ring, the less the thing.

.

When we see black clouds coming over our heads,

over our heads,

Then we know where it's ending

A loaded gun hanging over our heads...

We already know the way it ends.

.

Break, break, break it down

Back to the way that it was before

When symbols weren't just loaded guns

And black clouds weren't just metaphors

Bring, bring, bring it back

Back to the way that it was before:

Empty all the loaded guns and bury all the metaphors.
