"Acid Rain (The End Of The World)"
The smoke clouds roll in
Casting shadows across the land
The roses lose their fragrance
As they wither into sand
It becomes hard to breathe
As the landscape turns to dust
The beauty turns to sorrow
And we choke on our disgust
- When we're cryin', cryin' at the end of the world -
And we're tryin, tryin' to cross the bridges we've burned
But there's nothing we can say
When the world is crashing down
There's no strings we can pull
To turn time around
When we're dyin', dyin' at the end of the world
The sun begins to fade
As the sky grows dark and thick
The light gets cut to slivers
As smoke rises from the wick
The wax drips off the candle
And ignites a fiery blaze
We watch it fall to ruin
And our tears blur the haze
- Chorus -
The sky opens up
The wound pulled apart by shame
Heaven is crying
And it's pouring acid rain
- Chorus -
"Mourning Dove"
The dreams are not real but they're all that I have
To save myself from tearing my own mind in half
When the one person's gone who could bring me to life
It's a prayer that maybe I won't make it through the night
* But when you said, "all will be well" *
I didn't know you were saying "farewell"
- There's no getting around the fact that you're gone -
When I wake up in mourning and cry up a storm
There's no help getting around the fact that you're gone
When I wake up in mourning and cry up a storm
There's no help...
There's no hope...
The memories are left but they're starting to fade
Everything I held dear disappears by the day
I try to hold on but it's all falling too fast
My prayers aren't answered, they're not taking you last
* Bridge *
- Chorus -
The pictures remain but they don't mean as much
They fade, they tear, and they crack at the touch
I can't hold them close without losing you more
Like your place in my heart, every one is well worn
* Bridge *
- Chorus -
