Room 429 Lyrics - Ask Questions Later - Cop Shoot Cop

What you don't understand is where everything's leading 

When all of the signs you see still point to overload 

As you reach out your hand, a shattered picture's receding 

Like tail-lights along that lonesome stretch of broken road 

'Cause you've been to the past and it's just a reminder 

A recollection of faces that will never come to call 

When you've cut through the mask, when you've been through the grinder 

Sometimes you forget that you had ever been there at all 

Up here in room 429 

Yeah the world ain't so unkind 

I want to take you to that empty room tonight 

In the shadow of doubt, in the crush of an instant 

Standing in the rain outside my door hand on your knife 

When you reach a brick wall, there is still a decision 

Always thought if I had to lose I'd surely choose my life 

Up here in room 429 

Yeah the world ain't so unkindl 

I want to take you to that empty room tonight 

We'll tell the world outside the door 

That we ain't never coming back no more 

I want to stay in here till we turn off the night 

We're going to stay in here till we turn off the night 

Til we turn off the night 

City breathes so softly, everything's sleeping 

I am at the window silently watching 

I can see you standing alone against the winter 

I can hear you asking but the streets they are not giving 

Don't look to the ocean, restless in its dreaming 

Don't look to the heavens for they will tell you nothing 

If living is for learning then dying is forgetting 

Once we have forgotten then we can go on living 

In a lifetime of hope, in a second of kindness 

There is never a doubt that we are born and die alone 

From within or without there's no way they can find us 

When they knock at the door the lights are on but we ain't home
