Insomnium The Killjoy Lyrics

The Killjoy Lyrics

To know love is to ache,

hurt yourself and repent

For in the end all
is gone,

lights go out, your time is spent



If I were you I
would retract and lock my heart

Concede defeat and admit I was off the
mark

If I were you I would turn away and hide my face

Swallow my
pride and then finish ere it’s all disgrace



All of our dreams now
laid on the sand

To wait by the perilous tides

To be washed away
into the depths

And sink without a trace

Just a fool’s hope
remains



To rejoice is to lapse,

fool yourself and repent

Mirth will soon turn into woe,

reveries to contempt



If I
were you I would now bring the curtain down

Accept my lot and thus fathom
out my own bounds

If I were you I would rue the day when I was born

Cleanse all in life and redeem myself from scorn



Remember these
words when tide is turning

The less you hope for, the less you suffer

If you dare to trust, then you shall shatter

Lunge from the heights and
fall to smithereens



And when you come here with charred wings and
a defiled heart

Wait not for compassion or words of consolation

For
only a gleeful smile is greeting you
