Living by the printed page 
The landmarks of the age 
I find a coat that's poorly lined 
Handed down from time to time 
Waiting for the sun to shine 

Standing here amidst this crowd 
And wondering aloud 
I find a joke that's poorly timed 
Thinking back to simpler days 
Of waiting for a light to change 

No one can take this away from me 
The martyrs and madmen I learned of in school 
Will remember my name 
Some things are never the way they seem 
Bury our centuries' wasted regrets 
And remember this reign 

Walking from the weary gloom 
The din of empty rooms 
I find a poem that's poorly rhymed 
And waiting for the walls to fall 
I'm stunned by the failure of it all 

No one can take this away from me 
Spellbound in anger my heroes have failed 
To remember my name 
Some things are never the way they seem 
Buy up our centuries' bleeding remains 
And remember this reign 

It's only water falling down 
It's only water in my tears 
It's only water drowning me 
It's only water for all these years 

And waiting for the walls to fall 
I'm stunned by the failure of it all
