Spark

Some doors seem like they're always shut
 The hand of fate still seems corrupt
 When you're caught on the wrong side of your own generation
 Found the cracks like midnight barks
 Intoxication, the slipstream narcs
 Does the temple of your soul need restoration?
 Gareth lived here his whole damn life
 His job, his lover, his complex wife
 He said, "I've never even thought of leaving"
 He said, "Believe it or not I'm quite content
 Every now and again I kneel and repent
 But I never seem to find that feeling of healing, baby"
 Spark the heart in a godless night
 Spark the dark 'til it turns to light
 Spark the colors in the eyes that blame
 Spark the embers 'til they turn to flame
 From the small towns where the dreams don't hide
 To the big city where they do collide
 To these hotel rooms where the clocks have ceased their ticking
 He dreamt of Paris and MTV
 Ireland and the BBC
 But now the dream well it only makes him sicken
 No one knows his name or even cares
 As he stumbles drunk up and down those stairs
 Or the spirits' fire that burns within his temper
 He's haunted by every train running south
 And every lover that he brought to his mouth
 Fear of secrets that may soon be rendered, or surrendered, baby
 Spark the heart in a godless night
 Spark the dark 'til it turns to light
 Spark the colors in the eyes that blame
 Spark the embers 'til they turn to flame
 Yeah, she dyed her hair since the last time we spoke
 I got her a drink and I lit up her smoke
 And she said, "I don't know how I wound up so defeated"
 She said, "These pictures in this place always make me sad
 Make me think about the family I never had
 I hate the fact that I'm always feeling cheated"
 While the jukebox plays 'Your Cheatin' Heart'
 Can't see the wounds as well when you're in the dark
 She said, "I'll be right back", but I knew she was lying
 Me I knew, I needed different company
 These kind of talks always get to me
 This place smells like everybody's dying, or trying, baby
 Spark the heart in a godless night
 Spark the dark 'til it turns to light
 Spark the colors in the eyes that blame
 Spark the embers 'til they turn to flame
 Yeah, spark
 Need a little spark
