From the manner of Cutting whisper Rising vapors through Clouds of gold Giving fire and Change the demons With undercurrents Far too strong to haul The sun burnt out today Fools are dancin' in the rain Stopped by the acid stain And on the shelf, the jar that holds my brain Nightfall hunts us all From the shadows Cynical beauty now Lies the host Before the flicker There's only blackness The end is coming All my friends are dead The sun burnt out today Fools are dancin' in the rain Stopped by the acid stain And on the shelf, the jar that holds my brain Rid by an empty world Suffer the crushing weight Madness will crawl inside Alter the selfish stage Feeding on the voices in my head (Slowly we'll learn) (Slowly we'll learn) (Slowly we'll learn) (Slowly we'll learn) (Slowly we'll learn) The unruled hedges we Turn to someone All those weeping will Go unheard Up on that once green hill Around the mazes And seeing the darkness The jaws will take it slowly The sun burnt out today Fools are dancin' in the rain Stopped by the acid stain And on the shelf, the jar that holds my brain Rid by an empty world Suffer the crushing weight Madness will crawl inside Alter the selfish stage You're feeding all the voices in my head You're feeding all the voices in my head They're feeding all the voices in my head They're feeding all the voices in my head
