Acceptance Lyrics

I had a friend, five years my elder

He sat me down, and said, why do we bother

Its all in vain, and I'm getting older

But that was before I knew any better

I saw Satan standing on the median

With a velvet suit and cane in hand

I saw Adam standing with him there

Weeping with beautiful Evelyn

All of them, sit on my shoulders

Bicker and, whisper in my ear

It's been so long, it's hard to remember

But I had a friend, who I loved like a brother

He disappeared, like footprints in sand

Now I am left, a shell of a man

I saw Satan standing on the median

Smiling ear to ear with devilish grin

I saw Adam standing with him there

Flags me down naked and asks for directions

Dust in his eyes

Bruised cracked ribs

Desire then demise

Give and grow up cut your losses

They remain, to sit on my shoulders

Bickering and scream into my ears

Unprepared for what they had to explain

Damned if you do, doomed if you don't

Never return again

We wait, too long

Now the light is gone

Cursing in the dark

We're right where we belong

Wasted on wasting time

To express, to explain, to escape

To adapt, to attempt, to accept
