9-29-045 Lyrics - Green Carnation

[Part one: My Greater Cause] 

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 eyes of elephant 

Nothing's too big and no one 

Proves you're 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 couldn't keep up with the world 

[Part Two: Home Coming] 

[Instrumental] 

[Part Three: House Of Cards] 

Where am I? 

They're all gone 

All is black and white 

I think I have passed on 

All so warm 

All so calm 

All these worries shutting down 

Something's wrong 

Something's wrong 

Is it really you? 

A moment of... 

And they're all gone 

If I could close my eyes 

I'm sure I'd disappear 

Here they come 

Pulling me up from the mud 

I've failed yet I'm holding on 

Here they come 

I'm hiding in vain 

My shadow and I 

In our house of cards 

Never did I question myself for the truth 

There never was a greater cause 

Never did I open my eyes for you 

But there it was my greater cause 

Here they come 

Pulling me up from the mud 

I've failed yet I'm holding on 

Here they come 

I'm hiding in vain 

My shadow and I 

In our house of cards
