Temporary Freedom

There’s a house at the end of the road
It’s been beaten down
It’s been empty for years
But it’s still filled with thoughts of the people who have lived there
So just find another vice to occupy your precious little time
You’ll find a reason for everything
But I promise you God’s not responsible

What’s it gonna be today?
You know you can’t make
Any of this last through tonight

The ghosts of those who left are here to stay
The happy ending is replaced by pain
Now you’re standing on the edge
Just waiting for death to make his claim

Dip your feet into the water
And remember how it used to feel
If you could only get just one more taste
Well then what?

This is all that you have left
This is all that you’ll ever know
This is all that you have left
So why don’t you just pull the plug
This is all that you have left
This is all that you’ll ever know
This is all that you have left
So why don’t you just pull the plug

The ghosts of those who left are here to stay
The happy ending is replaced by pain
Now you’re standing on the edge
Just waiting for death to make his claim

Oh, what a tragedy
The lies have become reality
You’ve suspended your disbelief
And there’s nothing left to see

Now the spotlight is on you
But the crowd has gone away
Rest your head in the dirt
I’m sure it will keep you warm for tonight
