Lyrics

For the one waiting
A last day must come
Lock a cold chain
Around the hoping heart
A veil of shame
And sooner or later
The race will be on
Competing in depravity
The sordid game
Nights to come
Gradual descent
Red narcotic horizon
Resist no more
The future is not ours to evaluate
I've changed therefore
Gave up the semblance
The varnish dissolved
My currency expired
See the pact waning
Through the liquid eye
Claim the defeating prize
My belongings all packed away
Elsewhere in the city
I remember the light of the day
Off-white and elusive
