SYNE WAVE LYRICS

FUNCTION OVER FORM

I watch the details fade, into the background,

And in the haze I see, the candle on the bar

Flickering like the eye, of my familiar guarding me

From the danger of life from which, I struggle to be free

 

I grip my glass my surviving refuge,

A shield from the pain, (mmm, mmm, mm-mmm)

Numbing my senses, searching my soul,

Searching my conscience, hiding myself

Oh, in this mortal deluge

 

Passing another drink, while I’m passing my time

Passing my life away, committing my social crime

Drowning my sorrows, drowning in solitude

Waiting for the end, with my familiar

 

I see the wave rising, to drown the flame

Another drink, another social suicide

 

Fighting my way out of this mortal playground

Watching myself slipping slowly away

See the past and the present together

The dark of the night overtaking the day

 

I step out through the door, into the neon twilight.

Regretting the empty hours, of another wasted night

Vowing to get control, vowing to stop at last

Another empty promise, with another empty glass

Candlelight Familiar
