lyrics

The moon, like a tear-drop
Is falling from the sky
And the stars become detached
Then settle in my eyes

And the words, they've no idea
They're still supposed to rhyme
So now I'm finally thinking
That this may be the time...

To get out...
Of this empty room
Already too long abandoned
This empty room
Spinning me at random
Now a flavorless expression
In a world we cannot question
Just a song without a tune
This dark and empty room

So we divvy up the props
That made this stage a home
And the laughter from the wings
Still echoes, then it's gone

From this empty room
This empty room
Already too long abandoned
This empty room
Spinning me at random
Now a flavorless expression
In a world we cannot question
Just a song without a tune
This dark and empty room

This dark and empty room
