lyrics

Midnight is upon us
And I fear I've been dishonest
Leaning pensively against the kitchen sink
I am ashamed of everything;
All the love that I abandoned
All the friends I took for granted
Now, I drink my troubles neat
(As you wait for me to come to sleep)

Off in the back bedroom
You lay still as a death sentence
Weighing heavily upon the inmate's mind
I am estranged of everything—
In these halls of hoary shadows
Of a life lived incomplete

We could've had a family
A littered legacy
Now, instead of photo albums
It's a house of record sleeves
And it's coming down

Up above our heads
I hear the creaking of a footstep
And the tick-tock of the cuckoo clock
I am afraid of everything
and as I peek around the corner
I spy the specter with his scythe…

Just another senseless life
To end in one fell swoop
I was certain I was special—
I guess my neurons hid the truth

I wish you'd lie to me tonight;
Hold me and tell me I'm not so bad
Tell me I made some sort of difference
That our love is more than chance

Oh, I'm coming down
