Limelight

We sway like brittle branches

One gust and to earth we come

I’m grinning because I know

I’m grinning just because

Taking orders never suited me

Saying no just for the thrill

But tonight we’re moving slowly

While the cavalry moves in for the kill

Moves in for the kill

Moves in for the kill

I’m tired and I’m sore (sore, sore, sore, sore)

I’m not so young anymore (anymore, anymore)

Worn down, but I imagine (sore, sore, sore, sore)

This uniform stays in fashion

We’ve poured ourselves in these sweet white dying dogs

Some nights not kissing

Some nights just because

If we hear a crash

We can only expect the worst

But tonight we’re moving fast

While the party resumes the search

Resumes the search

Resumes the search

I’m tired and I’m sore (sore, sore, sore, sore)

I’m not so proud anymore (anymore, anymore)

Worn down, but I’ve decided (sore, sore, sore, sore)

It’s open casket you’re all invited

My head in your lap from the wandering blackout

The touch of your hand, you’re the last one to back out

There’s nothing to argue, there’s only a title

The worst’s yet to come well the worst’s not invited

I make separate fists while I swallowed the pride(So let’s embrace the twilight While burning out the limelight)

I am haunting an old roll of telephone wires(So let’s embrace the twilight While burning out the limelight)

It’s not how it was but it’s not getting lighter(So let’s embrace the twilight While burning out the limelight)

The weight is immaculate, the depth is inspired(So let’s embrace the twilight While burning out the limelight)

It’s let in, eyes tired(So let’s embrace the twilight While burning out the limelight)

I hold waste, stop fires(So let’s embrace the twilight While burning out the limelight)

I want hope, faith higher(So let’s embrace the twilight While burning out the limelight)

I’m lost now, loss tires(So let’s embrace the twilight While burning out the limelight)
