I saw the pattern engraved on the wall,
I read the letter before the fall came,
Zephyr sweeping you away,
I thought I'd lost you for a day,
Turned out much longer,
I'm afraid.
I lose what I believe is right to be
With me, I'm only seventeen,
But I cannot seem to find
The right words to say to make the pain go away,
To make everything, everything okay.
I take my time as I wander down alleyways
Through to the grim reaper's factory
Where nobody works hard,
But everyone weeps,
'Cos no one reaps the benefits
Of getting to keep what they think that they have earned...
Because I can't take this,
No matter how hard I try
She always gets away and
Even when I pretend that I'm working hard
They catch me in the act and throw me to the back,
The world belongs to the devil and I cannot
Change that fact.
I lose what I believe is right to be
With me, I'm only seventeen,
But I cannot seem to find
The right words to say to make the pain go away,
To make everything, everything okay.
I take my time as I slowly ponder why I'm alive,
Walking down the main street sidewalk
I've got nobody to talk to,
I've got nothing to say anyway,
So I will just stay here and fade away
Because the devil's blocked my only escape.
I lose what I believe is right to be

She always gets away and
Even when I pretend that I'm working hard
They catch me in the act and throw me to the back,
The world belongs to the devil and I cannot
Change that fact.
The grim reaper reaping what I'm needing,
I will never feel this feeling once again,
It's slowly leaving, you've been gone
For longer than a day and the pain won't go away,
So here I think I'll stay, and like they always say,
I'll fade to black, a forgotten, 'wish-I-hadn't' memory.
