Iron Effigy - Are You Listening?

My arms are getting tired now
My shoulders are caving in
My feet are sinking pretty low
My knees just might give in
I kissed you on the cheek that night
Caressed your pretty scar
And then you disappeared from sight
And I don't know where you are
How stupid would I have to be
To think that I could have arrived
This train
Left months
Ago
How lowly would you think of me
If I asked you to stay by my side
And give
This life
A go
'Cause things are changing fast
I'm asking questions that might not have answers
Without you, I might not last
The lasting impressions of grief are a cancer
It's 'cause of you that I'm this way
But I'm not gonna cry
I guess it's good that yesterday
A coward left my life
Oh, it's not easy being free
And making my own rules
It's pretty clear, when God made me
He made some other fools
This road is dark
I forgot my light
Someone help me
Through the night
I've lost it all
Something's not right
All my beacons
Are out of sight
This road is dark
I forgot my light
Someone help me
Through the night
I've lost it all
Something's not right
All my demons
Put up a fight
How stupid would I have to be
To think that I could have arrived
This train
Left months
Ago
How lowly would you think of me
If I asked you to stay by my side
And give
This life
A go
'Cause things are changing fast
I'm asking questions that might not have answers
Without you, I might not last
The lasting impressions of grief are a cancer
The lasting impressions of grief are a cancer
The lasting impressions of grief
