Castle Pines - Cassiopeia Lyrics

I'm a River running near
To the banks of a better time my dear
Tempestuous Thunder rain
Flooding my fondest thoughts again
God Damn the damned up thoughts
Sinking my ship in tied up knots
Churning the harbor door
My passage never meets the shore
Dressed up for a dimmer shade of gray
For a bed and a bottle laid away
Paused a past on a pretty face
Crossed the aisles in Scarlet lace
Prayers to the pope wont save you now
We lived through the glory days
An empire defeated by malaise
As seasons pass me by
We lay forgotten wonder why
What were they saying through their teeth
We were taught to grin through our grief
Facades are meant to fade
Living inside the walls we made
Dressed up for a dimmer shade of gray
For a bed and a bottle laid away
Paused a past on a pretty face
Crossed the aisles in Scarlet lace
Prayers to the pope won't save you now
Won't save you now
