Thursday - A Gun in the First Act lyrics

I saw you standing with a broken cigarette out in the rain. I guess all our lives are a little less than they seem, now you're praying to the memory of a god you used to love (A reminder of his d**h hanging low around your neck) Do you find sleep comes easy Dancing with the empty silhouette of everything? Our waking lives are just dreams of our dreams. Standing in the city asking what it's all for but there's nothing in this world that giving meaning makes it more: The Louder the ring, the less the thing Screaming from a stage or at a pay-phone in the rain trying to find the words I always think I need to say Please, bring it back to the moment before you left I never felt the sting. The louder the ring, the less the thing. Break, Break, break, break it down Back to the way that it was before When symbols weren't just loaded guns and black clouds weren't just metaphors Bring, bring, bring it back Back to the way that it was before: Empty all the loaded guns and bury all the metaphors. Now we're going around in a place that makes no sound, where names never fit and nothing ever means a thing
