The Music Thread

[Charon]

Now I'll take the blame
So forget my name
Just close the blinds
So I can come down

I'm naked and shamed
Moth to the flame
Just take my hand
So we can both drown

I'll never believe in you again
I'll never forgive those things you said
My only relief is gone and dead
I'll never forsake myself again

The same sweet game
Your halo is a flame
Feel my heart race
And breathe a sad sigh

Let me wash away
And let go of the pain
Just look away
And turn a blind eye

I'll never believe in you again
I'll never forgive those things you said
My only relief is gone and dead
I'll never forsake myself again
I'll never believe in you again
I'll never forgive those things you said
My only relief is gone and dead
I'll never forsake myself again

So hold me down
If I feed I'm stronger
I don't feel no longer

So hold me down
If I feed I'm stronger
I don't feel no longer

So hold me down
If I feed I'm stronger
I don't feel no longer

I'll never believe in you again
I'll never forgive those things you said
My only relief is gone and dead
I'll never forsake myself again

I'll never believe in you again
I'll never forgive those things you said
My only relief is gone and dead
I'll never forsake myself again

I'll never believe in you again
I'll never forgive those things you said
My only relief is gone and dead
I'll never forsake myself again

[Charon]

What you seek is inside you
But you can never get enough
Words can't define you
The pig that grovels in a trough
Pain is a virtue
You wear it like a silken glove
Burn the ones around you
It's safe to say I've had enough

It's safe to say I've had enough

Stand with me
Singing as you cut me down
Stand with me
It's safe to say I’ve had enough
Stand with me
Singing as you cut me down
Stand with me
It's safe to say I’ve had enough

The meek can't defy you
So run them down and use them up
Nothing left inside you
An empty shell who's talking tough
God let me chain you
I'll keep you in a silver box
Break my promise to you
Until you've broken down enough

Until you've broken down enough

Stand with me
Singing as you cut me down
Stand with me
It's safe to say I’ve had enough.

Stand with me
Singing as you cut me down
Stand with me
It's safe to say I’ve had enough.

you are my suicide
the one who loaded my gun

you are my suicide
the one who loaded my gun

you are my suicide
the one who loaded my gun

you are my suicide
the one who loaded my gun

It's safe to say I’ve had enough

Stand with me
Singing as you cut me down
Stand with me
It's safe to say I’ve had enough

Stand with me
Singing as you cut me down
Stand with me
It's safe to say I’ve had enough

Stand with me
It's safe to say I’ve had enough
Stand with me
It's safe to say I’ve had enough
Stand with me
It's safe to say I’ve had enough
Stand with me
It's safe to say I’ve had enough

Wine is fine but whiskey's quicker
Suicide is slow with liquor
Take a bottle and drown your sorrows
Then it floods away tomorrows
Away tomorrows
Evil thoughts and evil doings
Cold, alone you hang in ruins
Thought that you'd escape the reaper
You can't escape the master keeper
'Cause you feel life's unreal, and you're living a lie
Such a shame who's to blame and you're wondering why
Then you ask from your cask is there life after birth
What you sow can mean hell on this earth
Hell on this earth
Now you live inside a bottle
The reaper's traveling at full throttle
It's catching you but you don't see
The reaper is you and the reaper is me
Breaking laws, knocking doors
But there's no one at home
Made your bed, rest your head
But you lie there and moan
Where to hide, suicide is the only way out
Don't you know what it's really about
Ah, now people, you really know where it's at
Ah, ah you got it, fox
Get the flaps out, Satan, Satan, Satan, ha ha ha
Wine is fine but whiskey's quicker
Suicide is slow with liquor
Take a bottle, drown your sorrows
Then it floods away tomorrows
Take me away
Oh, oh, tomorrow

[Charon]

I've been out walking
I don't do too much talking these days
These days
These days I seem to think a lot
About the things that I forgot to do
And all the times I had to chance to

I've stopped my rambling
I don't do too much gambling these days
These days
These days I seem to think about
How all these changes came about my ways
And I wonder if I'd see another highway

I had a lover
I don't think I'd risk another these days
These days
And if I seem to be afraid
To live the life that I have made in song
It's just that I've been losing so long

I've stopped my dreaming
I won't do too much scheming these days
These days
These days I sit on cornerstones
And count the time in quarter tones to 10
Please don't confront me with my failures
I had not forgotten them

[Charon]

Lyrics: Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never shared
No one dared
Disturb the sound of silence

"Fools," said I, "you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sound of silence"
