lyrics

on a sunday in the middle of tenth avenue
where our shattered dreams collide
in the wreckage of the harmless lies we always knew
would stay sleeping deep inside

forces, contradictory forces
dizzying dashing lines
course, we are charting new courses
fragile fractured minds

living in shadows of dreams so bizarre
taking for granted the things that we are
eyes of self-pity, and heart full of scars
no lap of glory or victory cigars
out of our cages, but naught wander far
doomed to the relics of dark dying stars
striking the poses and nailed to the bar
is this who we are?

home, sweet home
can you take me home?

i've tried everything
i've tried everything
but i never tried for you

i've tried everything
i've tried everything
now i'll try for you

can you take me home?
