Limbo

A room that is filled with pain instead of air

I pull the plug and let it all drain out

Nothing in here resembles my own patterns

Other than being all alone

In the whole world

I'm letting the rope ends slip right through my fingers

It held the parts from falling far apart

On my way in to hell I'd skipped the limbo

I shall be trialed on my way out

By someone I'd known

In a world where live our doubles

I am free to die

Fossilized in time

Troubled ease or easy trouble

Heads or tails or maybe life

They say it's just a ride

On this old merry-go-round

I'll get windburned as I cry

Awe-struck by lights of funeral pyres

Blinded by haloes

Rounds back we were through

But we're trapped here, me and you

Ever on the move

There we go, the hapless storytellers

Not that we know the end

To any of the parables we conjure on demand

Comfortably high on the salt rubbed in our sores

Death is all that's out there but the punchline we deserve

Not what we deserve

And all that's out there

Not what we deserve

On this old merry-go-round

I'll get windburned as I cry

Awe-struck by lights of funeral pyres

Blinded by haloes

Rounds back we were through

But we're trapped here, me and you

Ever on the move

A room that's filled with pain

I thought I could get away

Hit the road and paint the sky red

A room that's filled with pain

I thought I could get away

Hit the road and paint the sky red

On this old merry-go-round

I'll get windburned as I cry

Awe-struck by lights of funeral pyres

Blinded by haloes

Rounds back we were through

But we're trapped here, me and you

Ever on the move

Ever on the move
