As I ran down the street all the
Faces appeared to me one by one
By the fifth I took a sudden turn
The melting snow revealed the bodies
Buried long ago
All the violence a man can take
Broken bones, and broken homes
Beneath my feet
On the dark side
We'll meet again
And cook it up for one more dance
It's who we are
But I swear it'll be my last
And if I go, I go alone
In the eye of the elephant
Nothing's too big and nothing
Proves you wrong
But the kind they had to offer
Didn't do me any good
It barely cracked the softer shell
On the dark side
We'll meet again
And cook it up for one more dance
It's who we are
But I swear it'll be my last
And if I go, I go alone
Yes I failed and I can't go back
I'm wasted beyond my years
And I breath to let it go
All that I wanted was to slip away
For a little while
Cause I felt alone
And I couldn't keep up with the world

Sorry for the little cut-up at the end.
