Oh sharp truth, inspired proof of life
I strive to map your use
Abuse this trust, my spirit rusts and thrusts
Out through this singing fool
Oh wretched waste of empty space
Just face up to your own desire
Inquire forth, lest ye forget
To light your cigarette on fire
My friend, where have you been
I thought I would not know you
And now there's just regret
For the things I could not show you
My friend, where have you gone
Some city in a shadow
To see if you belong
And all so slow and sudden
Oh blessed trend of things that end
In distance and in poverty
You made the choice to find your voice
But only its echo reaches me
