Faithless

Capture just the silver lining
Duck, here come the clouds
And damn the tether on my ankle
I never did like crowds

Her love rains down on me
To mediate my soul
And nurse me back onto my feet
And just in time to go

My innocence knows that it's gone
But life won't set me free
When I paint an ugly picture
The blame is all on me

And suddenly the work of love
Shows tragedy its strength and power
A broken player leaves the game
Send me to the showers

Living faithless 'til the end
Hedging bets and making friends
I'm never happy in my square
I hear laughter I want to be there

Faithless child
Faithless child
Faithless child
I'm a faithless child

The comforts of the past have gone
For them on lonely nights I long
To walk the streets of my hometown
Happy and content

But silly wishes fill my time
The fool in me subsides
Goodbye saturday cartoons
Goodbye carnival rides

Living faithless till the end
Hedging bets and making friends
I'm never happy here I swear
I hear laughter I want to be there

faithless child
faithless child
faithless child
faithless child
