Brothers on stage, but when the curtain goes down, we don’t even say goodnight. Can’t stand the tension in this room tonight If I’m only here because it breaks my heart too much to leave Then I wonder what this actually means to me Who we are when we’re on is the stuff legends are made of But who we are when we’re off is dark and dangerous and lonely And I can’t do this anymore baby This ain’t a love song And I ain’t feelin this anymore Is time catching up to me while I sleep? I didn’t want any of this to be true for me
Let’s go back in time 1995 and lies were in vogue You were the king and I was your rogue A warrior behind the kit and a bard on the ivory Sub one in for the guy who couldn’t be a part of our merry band anymore We were a gang and the world was at our feet But I couldn’t walk down the street at night without feeling this absence Tugging inside of me Empty gut and empty dreams
We got everything we ever wanted, so why does it always end up feeling like this? All I wanted was your happiness We can’t exist in the same room without all the weight of all these years Somedays it’s comfortable, but some days it’s just tears I’ve never been the storyteller you are Just a guy with a six string kneeling at the altar Hoping to be blessed
