lyrics

Night will fall, no matter what the season.
Don't wait up for a call, and don't expect a reason.
'Tired of forgiveness, both the asking and the granting.
The cover's blown, the game is up,
Convicted of the highest treason.

You have learned your lesson.
You cannot ease the fears.
Let's get down on our hands and knees,
And scrub away the tears.

Standing by the river, the choice is plain to see.
'Could save a drowning man, or just save our energy.
He's flailing in the current, losing brain cells rapidly.
We could turn and walk away, but we won't escape the memory.

You have learned your lesson.
You cannot ease the fears.
Let's get down on our hands and knees,
And scrub away the tears.

The stain's as stubborn as dried blood.
'Could last a hundred years.
I ask you is it worth it.
You just say scrub away the tears.

One dark alley, drunker than I've ever been.
One deep valley, meaner than you've ever been.
It's not exactly saying no; it's not exactly letting go.
It's just one big, black night sky and it's clearer than it's ever been.
