Laments Lyrics & Tabs by Endwell
Laments
guitar chords lyrics
Fuck your expectations
New breed manipulation
Propagating paradise
And selling devastation
Choirs of discontent
Sing refrains inside my head
Clearly I'm not fortunate
But I live with my mistakes
And the judgments that they bring
I'm reminded every day
A man can only take so much
Before his mind degenerates
Before he can't take his own face
Before he exercises rage
Choirs of discontent
Before he can't take his own face
Before he exercises rage
Choirs of discontent
Sing refrains inside my head
So foolish, foolish to dream
I was the only one, I was the only one
So foolish, foolish to think
The stars were lining up, God smiling down on us
Gave up a thousand times
But then I fell right back in line
Back to where the choices end
This cycle I can't defend
I condescend, wake up and snap the fuck out of this
Half-assessed desperate attempt
To fill the void within your head
To fill the void that you created
Damned from the start
Now all the lights begin to fade
And the cameras cut away
All the actors leave the stage
The curtains falling back in place
Suddenly anticipating
That same haunting refrain
Now with even greater haste
The swan begins to sing
The swan begins to sing
I'm not afraid, not afraid at all
Life is fleeting
This rivalry, a memory gone
Life is fleeting
The sky was tall and stars don't fall
Life is fleeting
Til there was nothing left
In the Heavens
But the echoes of our questions
Life is fleeting
This rivalry, a memory gone
Life is fleeting
So often in the course of life's fleeting years
A single pleasure costs a thousand tears
Life is fleeting
Find a purpose, find a reason
Make this worth it
Life is fleeting
