If you can't give up the ghost

Or cut the rope

That tugs you down.

If you're walking comatose

Obliged to cope

To follow the crowd.

Well long live all those lies

You tell yourself

You'll be alright.

But there's no kiss goodbye

Only the end

And only the night.

I pictured it like you did

Selfishly, I thought you'd spare the time

The ones I loved the most

Disfigured it all

The beautiful life.

Well long live all those lies

You tell yourself

That you'll be alright.

But there's no kiss goodbye

Only the end

And only the night.

It's a cold way to go

To the hollow below.

[X8]

Well long live all those lies

You tell yourself

That you'll be alright.

But there's no kiss goodbye

Only the end

And only the night.
