...and We Got So Close

The streets spoke for us since we kept our mouths shut and 
got lost in the black and gray. Our cigarettes lit the sky 
since the stars are all lies, but we'll be as dead as they 
are someday. So I've given up on running and screaming, 
yeah, now I'm fighting back. And their lips taste just like
 wax, but I'm still melting, I'm still melting. And there 
are things I tell them I believe in, and then there are 
fears I don't dare say aloud. Even though the stars still 
die alone, at least they shine for years, all bright and 
proud. I thought I found truth in a beautiful woman, and 
our clothes would decorate the floor, but she said God told
 her that I'm wrong, and life is nothing like a song, you 
can't hide behind metaphors. Yeah, she dropped His name 
like they were just in the ladies room doing lines and 
chasing death. So I tried to catch up, I was still trying 
to catch up until I finally ran out of breath and we were 
alone again. Yeah, we were alone again. It just follows us.
 Yeah, goddamn, it found us again. So come on, come on, 
come on, the truth is a satellite. So come on, come on, 
come on, it'll always be there, but we can try to leave it 
behind. So we tried to leave it behind, but you can never 
leave it behind. So it goes. Cuz we move and it moves with 
us, just like you moved with me. So come on, come on, come 
on, death is a satellite. So come on, come on, come on, we 
still tried to leave it, we still tried to leave it behind,
 and we got so close, yeah, we got so close, yeah, we got 
so close. So it goes.
