Lyrics
I drove the highways of a skeleton coast
Salt and sea, tapped mysteries into the keys
I wrote an opus of distorted truths
A symphony to crashing waves of victory
I am a ghostwriter
Pretend I am forever young
I bleed every ribbon dry
Waiting for my day to come
Tamerlane, my poor soul in a last refrain
An endless storm rattles on my windowpane
Creaking floors, lost voices of a thousand wars
The fire roars
How long can we sing the same old tired songs?
How long can we tread water?
The shore is only getting smaller
