Destruction sounds like rain Hissing in liquid whispers Laughter can sound like pain When you're going nowhere Derision in their eyes Cast down on all beneath them A thin, grotesque disguise That's fooling no one Each new indignity A penance for existence You crave stability When you're going nowhere But there's a light that shines for me That's always barely out of reach That lovingly guides my way home A distant candle sheds its bloom A balefire burning through the gloom Reminding me I'm not alone Tied in an endless knot The days hard to distinguish Collapse is all you've got When you're going nowhere Exhaustion in my bones Dragging a heavy anchor It feels like you're alone When you're going nowhere But there's a light that shines for me That's always barely out of reach That lovingly guides my way home A distant candle sheds its bloom A balefire burning through the gloom Reminding me I'm not alone Bloodless monotony Cycles of repetition You'll sell your autonomy When you're going nowhere The clock, a callous thief Its face a grim reminder The time that's left is brief When you're going nowhere But there's a light that shines for me That's always barely out of reach That lovingly guides my way home A distant candle sheds its bloom A balefire burning through the gloom Reminding me I'm not alone
