Farewell (American Nightmare)

Whatever this becomes Whatever words I say We are the fortunate ones... And when the days are done I won't forget All I see in you and me Is a light in the dark of humanity And when the days are done I won't forget Timid steps - come walk with me And with your useless words Come talk to me There are broken hearts Now on your stereo But the broken beats are just too slow You'll cry - it doesn't change a thing Kill the lights - and let the rain fall Recall - the memories Of yesterdays and better ways And know - the innocence is gone... Move on - from this day on We'll never be the same... The saddest songs Make sense to me... So with your sunken eyes Come look for me Two hour drives Are two hours alone But two hour drives Are better than home You'll die - it doesn't change a thing You will - kill the lights And let the rain fall - recall The memories of yesterdays And better ways And know - the innocence is gone... Move on - from this day on We'll never be the same... Faster words - and faster kids Faster songs - and faster ends The one thing that's stayed the same... I've lived through days I've lived through nights I've had my loves I've had my fights You gotta know - you have my heart
