Certain Tragedy - Live

And now I finally see that the further we go
 We're only treading ground that we already know.
 I could write you a song,
 Send you a note,
 Or empty out your trash
 And buy a bucket full of diamonds
 But even the most beautiful of all roses
 Must someday crumble to dust and fade away.
 It's certain tragedy.
 So, it's on into the lonely nights and all the rest of it.
 The empty space between me and the sunken walls
 And feeling someone's hand around my neck
 Choking away the life that I have left.
 And I can finally see that the further I go
 I'm only treading ground I don't want to know.
 I'll probably hang upside down
 From wooden rafters in my home
 And look at old photos of you.
 So, it's on into the lonely nights and all the rest of it.
 The empty space between me and the sunken walls
 And feeling someone's hand around my neck
 Choking away the life that I have left.
 I miss the warmth of the summer
 When we were on our own,
 But now it's winter and my bones are cold.
 And now I finally see that the further we go
 We're only treading ground that we already know.
 I could write you a song,
 Send you a note,
 Or empty out your trash
 And buy a bucket full of diamonds
 But even the most beautiful of all roses
 Must someday crumble to dust and fade away.
 It's certain tragedy.
