lyrics

I walked outside into the night
To calm my nerves and ease my mind
But on the road I saw a man in rags
How could I ignore his eyes
His terrifying gaze met with mine
It seemed to cry for some forgotten days

That same night I saw a girl
With bright red lips and long blonde curls
She roamed the roads to make a buck or two
Her voice rang out so sweet and calm
Calling out the siren’s song
“Hello there, sir, do you need a friend tonight?”

Please, please, don’t tell me this hell is what’s left of the road I see
Please, please don’t tell me this hell is what’s left of the path I lead

I stepped into an alleyway
And saw something that made me back away
A man in stripes alone with a glass pipe
He lunged at me with a blunt knife
Egged on by the words of his mind
I turned and ran to where my road began

Please, please, don’t tell me this hell is what’s left of the road I see
Please, please, don’t tell me this hell is what’s left of the path I lead

How can we shake the sights we see?
No, no, no, no, I can’t
No, no, no, no, I can’t
