The Nazarene

Gone today, the painted idle dreams
 That make you suffer
 Crawl away, the perfect night and day
 That was your lover
 And start anew, the search
 For a partner true
 Washed away, the things you love
 They last but for a day
 The sea sways, the trouble and the chaos
 Always have their ways
 And so you bleed these songs
 Like a Nazarene on the cross
 'Til you don't want to live a life
 That feels like always dying
 These blackest thoughts the cost of
 Always trying
 For a life that cannot be sold
 Hear her say, she wants you but she cannot
 Come to love you
 A child at play, your heart's a toy she fondles
 'Til she's through
 And now you know the weight of a man
 Whose heart is true
 'Til you don't want to live a life
 That feels like always dying
 These blackest thoughts the cost of
 Always trying
 For a life that cannot be sold
 More than this, the hopes and dreams
 You've carried all your days
 A dying wish, the portents and the stars
 Already say
 You'll walk this line, if it takes you
 All your life
 'Til you don't want to live a life
 That feels like always dying
 These blackest thoughts the cost of
 Always trying
 For a life that cannot be sold
