lyrics

And you wonder do they care?
know you’re in the darkness
know you’re even there?
And the smoke stings in the eyes
Can’t find the breath to even beg or cry

And you wonder was it worth
The hours and a lifetime
The movements of the earth
As you follow them down
Searching for the way through into town

Can’t believe the solitude
Can’t believe the pain
Can’t believe there’s no one there that even knows your name
You’ll never understand it
And never know quite why
There were no goodnights and no goodbyes

If you could you scream out, what would you cry
Bodies of the fallen
Tangled up inside
Just here waiting by the train
moisture from the walls sounds like rain

You can’t believe this silence
Can’t accept this weight
Can’t believe the dark rich earth has sealed you to this fate
You’ll never understand it
And never feel its right
There were no goodnights and no goodbyes
