Why Remain?
Every morning I fight in my war
with the seduction of my bed
Lack the strength to tear your mantle down
I curse under my breath instead
Still the sound is getting louder now
It's hard to hide what's plain in sight
The golden kindgom burns to the ground
yet, in its name, I'm told to fight If I left, would you regret?
If, ten years from now, we met
would you even recognize my face?
Would you miss me while I'm gone,
find it hard to carry on,
or just find someone to fill up my space? And you quest after my reasons
Let me open up my mind
Step into this motion picture
where the victims take the loot
and leave heroes behind
Riding much too long on this doomed track
smiling one overturned scream
as the waitresses serve us all coal
while the train runs out of steam Do you care that I won't stay?
Should we meet again some day
would you even recognize my face?
Will you miss when I'm gone,
find it hard to carry on,
or just find someone to fill up my space? So now it's all laid out
My burden thrown free
And will you thank me
for my honesty?
Any apologies?
Will you admit the lie
or just turn your head and whisper
"Goodbye"?
