Songtexte Liars and Thieves - Raid the Quarry

I was gazing into the abyss
I didn't think I could get ever get tired of this
Sometimes the darkness just needs a kiss
Am I desensitized or just getting old
Skin's become so numb that I think I'm losing my hold
Am I out of control?

I can't leave any time, so I thought
He's got a raceway mind but the engine was shot
Tell me lies 'bout the weight you carry
In this temporary cemetery
What's the excuse for your misbehavior?
D'you think this Judas was your part-time savior?

Forty-two days alone in the waste
And you're an old fashioned man with a merciful face
Can I keep up this pace?
I am a silhouette fading into the background
The lines blur as the past slowly curves back around
If I fall let me drown

I can't leave any time, so I thought
He's got a raceway mind but the engine was shot
Tell me lies 'bout the weight you carry
In this temporary cemetery
What's the excuse for your misbehavior?
D'you think this Judas was your part-time savior?

So pour me another one, please
And we'll go shake hands with all these liars and thieves
All these old soldiers never had a lot to say
Got on my one-trick pony then galloped away

Too late
I had the keys to the kingdom then I gave 'em away
This haze
The room filled with smoke and then I choked on the flames
All day
Starring in your personalized cabaret
Decay
Sometimes your moral compass has immoral ways
