The Dubious Flow Of Excess Lyrics - Good Riddance

Here we stand arm in arm 

at the corridors of time and reason 

with jaws set 

Our collective gaze unflinching 

Under the eyes of gods, men, martyrs and saints 

And what if all your hopes and dreams came true 

tomorrow 

would you lie 

Basking in the dubious glow of excess 

Forsaking all other 

Life alone with a broken promise 

These thoughts wont pray away 

Stand still stone cold and empty 

Begging grace to favor this soul 

One more day 

Im struck blind 

With it all 

Ive never been the kind to say im sorry 

Its strange 

To hear the dead keep calling 

How many restless days and nights will pass 

As the salience of all your broken reveries 

Hammers upon your consciousness 

and will tomorrow bring anything 

save the vacant reproach 

of your pensive ministrations 

Run out the pain of indifference and avarice 

All the small towns and cigarettes 

Ive seen much more than I wished for 

Watched our surface calling in all his debts
