Another Tattered Page Lyrics

Another tattered page, is what you've thrown away

And left to lay to waste, forfeit to decay

With nothing more to write, And no more space to find

Some better meaning word, to comfort the absurd

So long you have to go, with many ways to show

To make it worth your time, to walk a different line

Do you decide your fate, or just appreciate

What's given down to you, or all you've left to do

I don't want to talk about it, for now we can play pretend

I don't want to know it, it's pushing me to my end

I don't want to see it, I'm frightened it's not for me

I don't want to leave it, I don't want it to hurt to be

Now it's a brand new day, with debts you've left to pay

For everything you've done, and words you've left unsung

The road of life is long, with lines that lead you on

To your monotony, the path you make routine

Don't want to talk about it, for now we can play pretend

I don't want to know it, it's pushing me to my end

I don't want to see it, I'm frightened it's not for me

I don't want to leave it, I don't want it to hurt to be

There's a written line, repeating every time

A mantra or a prayer, an oath to which you swear

Where flowers wilt in spring, and blackened bells will ring

A deadened golden age, a metaphoric cage
