lyrics

in my last day in the city
didn't play guitar once
just looked out the window
dead grass in the summer sun
piles of empty pages
spread like fallen leaves
everyone a failure
couldn't bring myself to read

when did I do all this living?
where'd all this junk come from?
half-read books and dirty looks
from the mirror I hung
items that define us
end up in a garbage can
bodies that confine us
six feet down in land

help me oh help me
help my understand
why the righteous path
has a sign that says "dead end"
tell me oh tell me
what do we do now
fallen from the angel's arms
to the devil's mouth
fallen from the angel's arms
to the devils mouth

well I built myself a palace
way deep in my head
the palace had a courtyard
nobody but me went
now, the palace is on fire
ghosts are roaming free
courtyard's overcrowded
even when it's just me

I feel all unraveled, now
days like minuets tick
everybody's hiding out
trying not to get sick
when I talk I babble
I can't recall my name
paranoid and poison
flowing through my veins

help me oh help me
help my understand
why the righteous path
has a sign that says "dead end"
tell me oh tell me
what do we do now
fallen from the angel's arms
to the devil's mouth
fallen from the angel's arms
to the devils mouth

in my last day in the city
didn't sing a song
did not dream a dream
farewell and so long
a golden apple dangles
from a dying tree
silhouetted by a sun
too dark to see

help me oh help me
help my understand
why the righteous path
has a sign that says "dead end"
tell me oh tell me
what do we do now
fallen from the angel's arms
to the devil's mouth
fallen from the angel's arms
to the devils mouth
