Lyrics

When the blood red sun shall come to rest,
When you fill the black hole in your chest,
When knowing what you want isn't such a test,
When you think you know what's for the best,

You'll forget
You'll forget

You color your words with an artist's black brush tongue,
Painting gold the air inside your lungs,
You climbed the ladder to the highest rung,
Scratched an x where you have just begun.

You can start again
You can start again

Smiling at the sound of your own voice,
Have you really left yourself a choice?
Or have you gone and thrown it all away?

Blanketed by all your warmest thoughts,
Huddle with the haves, safe from have-nots
Throwing out the past just for the rot,
Living with the future you have bought.

You can start again
You can start again

In the end, you'll find you were not the one.
So saddle up your debts, pass them to your son.
He'll carry on your wars you have not won,
He'll take the world by force at the end of a gun.

You can start again
You can start again

Smiling at the sound of your own voice,
Have you really left yourself a choice?
Or have you gone and thrown it all away?
