I can't stand the way I was that day Speechless, with so much to say I wish I had run away But maybe it's not too bad things didn't happen that way At night when there's no moon No one has a history The dark ages last a few hours But that's all the time that's needed To erase memories, create horrible dreams, ruin sleep Destroy all possibility of elimination It's hard to live through this It's harder to react When everyone's behind your back It's hard to know when you're being attacked It'll tear you up someday That's a hope I can't betray These ages will go away Maybe they'll turn to darker days
