Room 429 - Remastered [cover version]

Lyrics

What you don't understand is where everything's leading
 When all of the signs you see still point to overload
 As you reach out your hand, a shattered vision's receding
 Like daylights along that lonesome stretch of broken road
 'Cause you've been to the past and it's just a reminder
 A recollection of faces that will never come to call
 When you've cut through the mask
 When you've been through the grinder
 Sometimes you forget that you had ever been there at all
 Up here in room 429
 In a world ain't so unkind
 I wanna take you to that empty room tonight
 In the shadow of doubt, in the crush of an instant
 Standing in the rain outside your door, hand on my knife
 When you reach a brick wall, there is still a decision
 Always thought if I had to lose I'd surely take you all
 Up here in room 429
 In a world that's so unkind
 I wanna take you to that empty room tonight
 We'll tell the world outside the door
 That we ain't never coming back no more
 We're gonna stay in here 'til we turn out the night
 Until we turn out the night
 The city breathes so softly, everything is sleeping
 I am at the window silently watching
 I can see you standing, alone against the winter
 I can hear you asking, but the streets, they are not giving
 Don't look to the ocean, restless in its dreaming
 Don't look to the heavens for they will tell you nothing
 If living is for learning, then dying is forgetting
 Once we have forgotten, then we can go on loving
 In a lifetime of hope, in a second of kindness
 There is never a doubt that we are born and die alone
 From within or without, there's no way they can find us
 When they knock at the door, the lights are on, but we ain't home
 Up here in room 429
 In a world ain't so unkind
 I wanna take you to that empty room tonight
 We'll tell the world outside the door
 That we ain't never coming back no more
 We're gonna stay in here 'til we turn out the night
 Until we turn out the night
 Until we turn out the night
 Until we turn out the night
 Until we turn out the night
