Skid Row

You and I together in our lives
Sacred ties would never fray
Then why can I let myself tell lies

And watch you die every day?

I think back to the times
When dreams were what mattered
Though talking youth naivete

You said you'd never let me down
But the horse stampedes and rages
In the name of desperation

Chorus:

Is it all just wasted time
Can you look at yourself
When you think of what you left behind
Is it all just wasted time
Can you live with yourself
When you think of what you've left behind

Paranoid delusions they haunt youWhere's my friend I used to know
He's all alone
He's burried deep within a carcass
searching for a soul

Can you feel me inside your heart as it's bleeding
Why can't you believe you can be loved

I hear your scream in agony And the horse stampedes and rages
In the name of desperation

Chorus.

You said you'd never let me down
But the horse stampedes, it rages
In the name of desperation

Chorus.

The sun will rise again
The earth will turn to sand
Creation's colors seem to fade to grey
And you'll see the sickly hands of time
Will write your final rhyme
And end our memory

I never thought you'd let it get this far boy...

In a darkened room
Beyond the reach of God's faith
Lies the wounded, 
The shattered remains of love betrayed
And the innocence 
Of a child is bought and sold
In the name of the damned
The rage of the angels left silent and cold

Forgive me please for I know not what I do
How can I keep inside the hurt I know is true

Tell me when the kiss 
Of love becomes a lie
That bears the scar of sin too deep
To hide behind this fear 
Of running unto you
Please let there be light
In a darkened room

All the precious times 
Have been put to rest again
And the smile of the dawn
Brings tainted lust singing my requiem
Can I face the day

When I'm tortured in my trust
And watch it crystallize
While my salvation it crumbles to dust
Why can't I steer the ship before it hits the storm
I've fallen to the sea but still I swim for shore

Tell me when the kiss 
Of love becomes a lie
That bears the scar of sin too deep
To hide behind this fear 
Of running unto you
Please let there be light
In a darkened room
