My sunken eyes keep their shadows close Hold their flicker closer still Half glance hollow dice The reckless rolls Blind in the blaze of a wakin' dream Old sorrow new friends always loneliness Well there ain't no solace found in shame Wild fires rage back burnin' Grey dawn remains a fickle friend I fear the madness comin' Each time I turn away from home again I hear the madness callin' Threads are beginning to fray From both ends Living through joy and pain It's all relative To the weight I carry Those that I long for Shoulder the strain so they'll never know Can't rest for wishin' someone did I fear the madness comin' Each time I turn away from home again I hear the madness callin' Threads are beginnin' to fray From both ends These paths so worn And tired don't weather well Just as in all things The circle carries Save some for yourself Said the mad visionary Time can always tell Another sorry story for some other fool
