Intro

Verse

He's thinking of the hungry rats

Inside his stomach and he knows that

Nothing ever changes anyway

He can see himself there

He knows that look, it's called despair

His father taught him to wear it well

So he put his ear to the door of his youth

And he heard a groundswell of remorse now

Chorus

 There's no splendid isolation

 For the abandoned generation

 It gets hard

to maintain

When the brightest of shells

Weather and fade anyway

Do what you can before it's too late

Verse

Chorus

Bridge

  OPEN

OPEN

I spent a lifetime searching with tired eyes

  OPEN

I had the best intentions but they went away*

Chorus
