lyrics

Stumbling in a troubled state
This mountain always seems to take
So much time to climb
Memories tearing at the seams
I twist and turn through sunken dreams
Falling in and out of time
Crossing in between the lines
And the rules that reign
And the usual games

When the wind comes rattling 'neath my door
The devil's crawling 'cross the floor
And darkness closes in
I'll cross my heart and never fear
I know someday this storm will clear
And we'll hear the heavens sing
Its light comes flowing in
As they call our names
and the usual games

A blood red sun sinks far behind
Up ahead black mountains lie
And the road seems a little long
We'll follow this path though it ain't a lot
Hell, it's more than what others have got
There's comfort knowing how far we've come
Turn the volume up, there's another wise old song
Thank god somethings never change
Like the usual games
