Room 429 Lyrics - City - Strapping Young Lad

What you don't understand 

Is where everything's needing 

When all of the signs you see 

Still point to overload 

As you reach out your hand 

A shattered vision's receding 

Like daylights 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 wanna take you to that 

Empty room tonight 

In the shadow of doubt 

In the crush of an instant 

Standing in the rain outside your door 

Hand on my knife 

When you reach a brick wall 

There is still a decision 

Always though if I had to lose 

I'd surely take you all 

Up here in Room 429 

In a world that's so unkind 

I wanna take you to that 

Empty room tonight 

We'll tell the world outside the door 

That we ain't never coming back no more 

We're gonna stay in here 'til we turn out the night 

Until we turn out the night 

City breathes so softly 

Everything is 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 loving 

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 

Up here in Room 429 

Yeah, the world ain't so unkind 

I wanna take you to that 

Empty room tonight 

We'll tell the world outside the door 

That we ain't never coming back no more 

We're gonna stay in here 'til we turn out the night 

Until we turn out the night, until we turn out the night 

Until we turn out the night, until we turn out the night
