Dark Day Dawning If Only Lyrics

If Only Lyrics

For now this shallow grin means nothing 
Vacant as I`ve found that exceptions too run away 

What good are words 
When you don`t know what is meant? 
And what good are memories 
Of times we never spent? 
What good is ink 
When the written cannot be said? 
And what good is life 
When you wish that you were dead? 

Dead 
Suburban swings now hang so still since that night 
That night...if only 

Five days without sunlight 
Without sunshine 
The walls tend to come alive 
Taunt you and your greying flesh 
Water will not take the stench away 

Shut your mouth now, and say nothing
As your breath dooms the doves to fall limp from the sky 
Shut your eyes now, quiet child
As your bar codes are being exposed 
To see this breath, this steam 
In the December air 
To see this look of endless compassion 
To lie to you 
Cry to you 
Die in your arms and I swear this time
